In this whirlwind episode of The Diabetic Mammy, Catherine takes you behind the scenes of a jam-packed week of diabetes events, reflections from National Volunteer Week, and what’s been lighting up conversations in the community.
From digital health as a lifeline—not a luxury—to learning from the neurodivergent folks living with chronic conditions, Catherine shares thoughtful takeaways, practical insights, and heartfelt encouragement.
We also dive into travel tips for people with diabetes and a touching reminder of how far we come on this journey—from feeling overwhelmed to quietly becoming the ones who help others find their way.
Plus, a reality check on May madness: school chaos, bedtime battles, teacher gifts, and the slow crawl toward summer. If you're holding it all together with a thread and a juice box—this one’s for you.
✨ Topics covered:
· Why digital tools in diabetes care are essential, not optional
· Neurodiversity and diabetes: dignity in the little things
· Travelling with diabetes: prep, patience, and a pinch of humour
· The power of peer support and paying it forward
· Surviving May as a parent (odd socks and all!)
Whether you're a seasoned T1D parent or brand new to the chaos, tune in for solidarity, sanity, and a few smiles.
