Whether you’re living with diabetes or know someone who is, ‘Diabetes Discussions’ brings you the conversations you’ll want to hear.
Diabetes is sometimes known as the hidden condition. Millions of us live with it; millions more misunderstand it. We know diabetes can affect everyone differently - it can play a small part in your life or completely consume it.
Each episode we'll be talking about the realities of diabetes as we delve into topics such as technology, sport, mental wellbeing, research, stigma and everything in-between.
Our host, Jack Woodfield, will be joined by people living with diabetes and people whose lives are affected by diabetes, who’ll share their personal experiences.
Some of these conversations may be upsetting, and if you are affected by the topics discussed then you can call our helpline team on 0345 123 2399, or email us at helpline@diabetes.org.uk

In this first episode, Jack Woodfield from Diabetes UK is joined by Roxy Horner and Katie Lamb to chat about their experiences of living with diabetes.
Roxy is a successful model who made her debut in Vogue when she was 17. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2021, a month before her 30th birthday. Katie is an artist and full-time volunteer who lives in Preston. She was diagnosed with type 1 just before her second birthday.
Roxy shares her initial shock at her diagnosis and how much she’s had to learn in the past two years. She also discusses her pregnancy and how it’s affected her diabetes, along with the ways her partner, comedian and actor Jack Whitehall, has supported her.
Katie talks about growing up with type 1 and how managing her diabetes has changed at various ages as she became more independent, and reacted to new challenges in her life.
