#356 You Never Switch Off: Life with Type 1 Diabetes with Chris Bright

This November, in recognition of Diabetes Awareness Month, we are resharing a series of important episodes that explore the realities, challenges, and innovations surrounding diabetes care and management. This week's reshared episode features Chris Bright, a passionate advocate who is reshaping the narrative around diabetes. Chris highlights the importance of education and awareness, and discusses how collaboration between healthcare providers and organisations can lead to stronger support for families facing similar challenges. This month carries a particularly deep meaning for us all at THC, as we remember Tahlia, daughter of our host Tara, who tragically passed away. Tahlia lived with type 1 diabetes, and her story is a powerful reminder of how complex and serious this condition can be. By revisiting these conversations we hope to raise awareness, and honour Tahlia's memory by helping others better grasp the life threatening nature of diabetes and the importance of ongoing support for those living with the condition. If these episodes help even one person understand diabetes more deeply or take action to protect a loved one, then we know Tahlia's legacy continues to make a difference.. 💙 In memory of Tahlia.
