Dawn Adams on menopause, hormones and type 1 diabetes

Dawn Adams on menopause, hormones and type 1 diabetes

In her early 20s, Dawn Adams was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and told she probably wouldn't live long enough to worry about any impact the menopause might have on her condition. And so, when Dawn started perimenopause and noticed changes in her condition, she began to question what exactly medical professionals and researchers do know about it? As ever when it comes to women’s health, the answer was not a lot. Dawn's now involved in several research projects, and so Jen got the midwife and diabetes advocate on the phone to talk about autoimmune conditions, why we still don’t know enough about diabetes type 1, and how representative Steel Magnolias actually is.
