Type 1 Diabetes with Emma Cathro

By Hidden Disabilities Sunflower The Sunflower Conversations Share

 

“But you can end up in a coma if your sugar levels are too high because your body just can't function with so much sugar.”

We are joined by Sunflower Friend - Emma Cathro. Emma has recently graduated with a First Class Honours in German and Sociology at the University of Aberdeen and is now a research associate. Emma has type 1 diabetes and shares her story of living life with the condition.

We cover the main symptoms and what to look out for prior to getting a diagnosis. Emma explains her daily routine of how she ensures that she maintains safe levels of insulin and the technology she uses to do that.
