Luma & Jane: From anger to acceptance - family life after diagnosis


Listen Later

I'm welcoming not one, but two guests to Type 1 on 1 for the first time! Luma is 24 and a youth worker and DJ from South East London, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in December 2019. She joins me with her mum Jane to talk about how her diagnosis has affected not only her, but her loved ones too. Speaking publicly about her illness for the first time, Luma openly discusses grieving the life she knew before her diagnosis, and how it's made her a better person as she's learned to accept life with the condition. Showing incredible empathy for those outside of herself, Luma details the challenges she's faced over the last 18 months and the way they have affected not only her, but her family and friends. Luma is wise, fierce and resilient, and what I love is that she recognises this in herself. This is such a warm, special episode and I hope it resonates with you whether you live with type 1 yourself, or live with it through someone close to you
