1. Living with Diabetes

1. Living with Diabetes

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.
