Nadia Pye: Being a type 1 mum, adult diagnosis and hypo anxiety

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.
