Today, I’m reflecting on my 25th diaversary, 25 years since I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. In the past, I’ve shared this day with my parents on the podcast, but this year I felt called to sit down solo and really process what this milestone means. From the memories of my diagnosis at seven years old to the lessons I’ve learned along the way, I’m sharing how my relationship with diabetes has evolved over a quarter of a century. My hope is that no matter where you are in your journey, five seconds in or fifty years, you’re reminded that it’s never too late to shift lanes, grow, and create the life you want with diabetes. Giveaway details below!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
