Senior Paediatric Diabetes Dietitian Lila Digkliou has been helping children and families living with type 1 diabetes for more than 10 years.

She was inspired to move from general diabetes care into paediatrics to help people with not only nutrition, but the perspective and tools needed to manage type 1 diabetes as early as possible in their lives.

This value packed episode is full of tips and takeaways, as we discuss the most common concerns for parents and caregivers, how they differ from what young people are worrying about - and how to find common ground through the many complexities and pressures of type 1 diabetes. 

We also look at some interesting ways to encourage diabetes management among school, hobbies and hormones - and bust some common myths about what children with type 1 diabetes can and can't do!
