#295: An International DJ’s Life with Type 1 Diabetes, with Harriet Jaxxon

The insuleoin Podcast - Redefining Diabetes

Show Notes

Today’s guest is Harriet Jaxxon (@harrietjaxxon).

Many of you will know her from international stages, from Boiler Room sets to shows in New York and across Europe. She is building a serious name for herself in the global DJ scene.

What a lot of people do not know is that she has been living with Type 1 diabetes since she was 17, diagnosed completely out of the blue.

She is very honest about it. It was not some inspirational turning point. It was disruptive. Life altering. In her words, a complete “vibe kill”. And even now, while it is more manageable, it is still something she carries every single day.

What stands out to me is how she has integrated that reality into her life. The resilience. The discipline. The mental toughness that comes with managing a chronic condition daily. Those traits have shaped not only her character, but her success. This conversation is real, grounded, and powerful.
