Episode 10 - Being a type 1 mum, adult diagnosis and hypo anxiety with Nadia Pye

In this week’s episode business owner and mum of one Nadia Pye talks candidly about juggling the demands of parenthood with the demands of type 1 diabetes, and the challenges it has brought to her life.

Nadia, who was diagnosed with type 1 at the age of 35, has severe hypo unawareness, and her fear of hypos expanded into a crippling anxiety after some terrifying low blood sugars while home alone with her baby Noah. We also discuss how type 1 diabetes impacted her pregnancy and of course the immeasurable reward and joy that comes with being a mum.

I so admire Nadia’s humility and candour while discussing everything from resisting starting insulin to her harrowing hypo experiences. I hope this resonates with those who sometimes find it hard to acknowledge that you’re doing a good job, especially when it comes to managing parenthood alongside chronic illness.
