In this honest and informative episode of the CF Together Podcast, Jade and Louisa share their lived experiences of CF-related diabetes (CFRD). They speak openly about diagnosis, daily management, and the challenges of balancing blood sugars alongside the already complex realities of living with cystic fibrosis.

Through personal stories and reflection, Jade and Louisa explore the physical and emotional impacts of CFRD, how it affects identity and independence, and what they wish they’d known earlier. This episode offers reassurance, practical insight, and a strong sense of connection for anyone navigating CFRD or supporting someone who is. A powerful reminder that lived experience matters, and that no one has to navigate CFRD alone.
