EP 84: Interviewing my Fiancé: Relationships and Type 1 Diabetes

Listen Later

Ah, Valentine's Day - the season of love.. Yet another thing that people with diabetes need to consider after receiving our diagnosis. How will our future partners handle it? How will we communicate the support we need?

Inside this episode, I interview my partner of the last 4.5 years and husband-to-be, Jordan and discuss what it's really like having a relationship with the third-wheel, diabetes.
