I’m Pippa – a 24 year old from the UK currently backpacking in Australia. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I was 6.
It’s been 18 years since my diagnosis.
It’s also been 12 months since I left the UK to go backpacking.
During my travels I have learned so much about being a backpacker with Diabetes but also about the condition and my own relationship with it.
I also have a better understanding of how Diabetes impacts my body and my mind.
My journey over the past 12 months and even the past 18 years has been jam packed with highs, lows, hypos and a LOT of mentos.
The Type 1 Diabetes Diary captures my most mortifying moments, diabetic disasters and insights into travelling with the condition. Prepare to be entertained by this series of blogs, podcasts and travel vlogs.
Here’s to highs, lows, hypos and figuring it out as you go.
