Leo's Story | type 1 Diabetes diagnosis - with Gioenne

Do We Need Help?

Show Notes

Welcome back!

This week we have a very special episode - we sat down with the beautiful Gioenne, a mum of 3, who very kindly shared the story of her eldest child's diagnosis & journey with Type 1 Diabetes. This story is sure to tug on everyone's heart strings as Gioenne recounts Leo's story from diagnosis, early days of managing T1D, all the way to where they are today. We certainly shed a few tears, so be sure to have tissues at the ready.

A big thank you for Gioenne for being so vulnerable, raw & telling her family's story. You can support Gioenne as she participates in the Breakthrough T1D One Walk on March 15th by donating to this important cause - click here.
