Embracing Diabetes, compassion, community and creativity
Welcome to Embracing Diabetes, a podcast that explores the many different ways people are living with diabetes in the world. Join co-hosts Amy Stockwell and Dr Liz Stephens, colleagues and friends who have lived with type one diabetes for decades. Liz and Amy launched Embracing Diabetes so they could talk to creative, smart, inspiring, and thoughtful people living with type one and share their stories with you! People with type one diabetes come in all shapes and sizes, but we share this one thing -- this frustrating, challenging, expensive chronic illness -- that binds us together and we are always stronger together. We hope you are as inspired by these interviews as we are.
