About Diabetes Squad

Diabetics share something that not that many people understand. This is the place where we can be united, share experiences and tips, and work together to build confidence. Hosted by Manisha, a type 1 diabetic since 2007, nothing is off limits. Food, fitness, dating... the list goes on and Manisha is on a journey to share and learn. Jargon free, and away from the textbook, this podcast is about having honest chats with both other type 1's and non-diabetics.

   S6 EP4 Pumps, Pregnancy & Peace of Mind

We talk about panic, hormones, wonky blood sugars, and the pressure to “do it all,” but also about laughter, learning as you go, and giving yourself a bit more grace. It’s an honest reminder that postpartum life with Type 1 diabetes is messy, human, and ...

   S6 EP3 Babies, Blood Sugars & Better Tech

   In this episode, we talk honestly about pregnancy, birth, and life after birth with Type 1 diabetes — and why informed, compassionate care matters.

This episode is for anyone with Type 1 diabetes navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or planning their next steps.
