The reality of living with Type-1 diabetes & waiting for an organ transplant - with Rechelle Coombes

Rechelle Coombes was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes when she was 12. In her teens and early 20’s, Rechelle developed diabulimia (an eating disorder where diabetics restrict themselves of insulin) which landed her in hospital many times. As Rechelle got her diagnosis under control, Rechelle learned her kidneys were failing, which now means she is on the waiting list for a simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant.

In this episode we speak with Rechelle about the differences between Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes, the misconceptions and stigma surrounding both, everything that led up to the point of Rechelle needing an organ transplant, and how she is using her experience to give back.

We want to thank Rechelle for being so open <3

Advice From Our Mums

Advice From Our Mums

In this episode we’re excited to introduce two incredibly special and very influential women in our lives that have been there for us from the very beginning, our mums. Given that it was Mother’s Day on the weekend we thought we’d celebrate it by spending some time with both Julie (Laura’s mum) and Wendy (Steph’s mum) and open up about some things we hadn’t fully discussed ever before. Steph learns her mum has one kidney, and Laura discovers why she can’t help laughing at her own jokes.
