The NDSS is administered by Diabetes Australia
Welcome to
A podcast that brings you real stories from young people living with type 1 diabetes.
Dive into the lives, challenges, and successes of those who know exactly what it’s like to navigate life with type 1 diabetes.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with diabetes for a while, you’ll learn life-hacks and relatable insights from people who really know what it’s like to live with type 1 diabetes.
Tune into hosts Isabella and Sebastian, who live with type 1 diabetes, as they share real-life experiences, get expert answers and build a community that gets it.
They chat to former two-time Australian Olympic swimmer, Meagen Nay, who shares her experience being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and talks about why it’s so important to listen to your body and get support when you need it.
Isabella Magee was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 11 in 2009, but she didn’t let her fear of blood and needles hold her back.
As a Diabetes Australia ambassador and advocate for self-care and self-love, she champions the belief that a malfunctioning pancreas is no barrier to living a full and healthy life.
Isabella has a deep passion for education and raising awareness about living with type 1 diabetes and strives to convey a powerful message to everyone with diabetes: you are not alone in this journey.
Sebastian Harris was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in grade 8, where he went through a stage of denial before he could accept his diagnosis and everything that came with it.
Despite all the serious highs and lows (both physically and emotionally), Sebastian learnt everything he could about diabetes alongside his family. He now feels blessed to be able to speak about diabetes and let people know they are not alone.
Sebastian is a Diabetes Australia ambassador, and his motto is ‘You are not a diabetic, you have diabetes’ which helps him manage. Sebastian is a university student and researcher in ancient history and archaeology.
