Drew’s Daily Dose Podcast is your new destination for inspiring, meaningful conversations with people who are thriving with type 1 diabetes—and beyond.
I’m Drew Harrisberg—a happy, healthy guy thriving with type 1 diabetes. I’m also an exercise physiologist with a postgraduate certificate in diabetes education and management. In this podcast, I dive deep into the lives of incredible individuals living with or connected to diabetes—athletes, artists, health professionals, and anyone who inspires me to grow.
We explore what they eat to manage their diabetes and fuel their performance, how they move their bodies, navigate daily life, and the mindset that helps them show up as their best selves.
Some episodes feature a special segment called What’s On Your Plate, where my guest and I share a plant-forward meal, track our glucose, administer insulin, and unpack our real-time strategies for diabetes management.
But this podcast isn’t just about diabetes—it’s about living fully, with purpose and vitality. Expect stories, science, and your daily dose of inspiration and education.

An Unexpected Diagnosis During Pregnancy: Juliet Love’s Type 1 Diabetes Story
When Juliet Love fell seriously unwell during her second pregnancy, doctors chalked it up to gestational diabetes. But what followed was a misdiagnosis that took everyone by surprise, and catalysed a life-changing journey with type 1 diabetes.
Juliet is a TV presenter, interior designer, health coach, and mum of two. And in this raw, powerful chat, she opens up about her surprise diagnosis, the terrifying moments that followed, and how she’s built a life full of joy, vitality and purpose while managing diabetes every single day.
Here’s what we dive into:
Juliet’s dramatic diagnosis story—and the moment she nearly passed out with a toddler and a baby in tow
Why doctors mistook her condition for gestational diabetes (and how long it took to uncover the truth)
The terrifying early months of trying to manage diabetes with no training and no support
How a near-hypo in the middle of London became her greatest lesson
The turning point that shifted her from overwhelmed to empowered
Juliet’s go-to meals, movement routines and her Mediterranean-inspired approach to thriving with T1D
Why mindfulness (and morning rituals) have become her non-negotiables
The “diabetes burnout” moments we don’t talk about enough
How diabetes has changed her family’s health—for the better
What she’d do first if a cure were found tomorrow
Juliet’s emotional letter to her diabetes: “You’ve made me stronger…”
This is part of the “What’s On Your Plate” series—where we share a meal while sharing our stories. So stick around for the smoothie bowl debrief—it’s as nourishing as the chat.
