10. Christmas

Christmas is a time to enjoy yourself. And when it comes to the festive period, and especially Christmas Day, this is a time not to be too hard on yourself when it comes to diabetes.


In this seasonal episode Jack Woodfield from our content team is joined by Jay James and Catherine Brannigan to discuss the highs and lows of living with diabetes at Christmas.


Jay is the lead singer of vocal harmony group The Overtones. His son Franklin was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2022, aged 3. Catherine works in finance and lives in Whitley Bay in Tyne and Wear. She was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in April 2022.
