No one should have to do diabetes alone.
I'm Mila Clarke, and I've lived with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults since 2016. When I was diagnosed, I felt alone, discouraged, and like I'd never get this down. Over time, I've met some fantastic Diabesties who made me realize that someone's always got your back.
So, I decided to start a Podcast about the power of friendship and connection in Diabetes and talk to some of my favorite people about the diabetes rollercoaster.
Most of all, I want to make sure that no one ever has to be alone on their journey with diabetes.
