#216: Emma Bowditch (Part 2)

Part 2 of Eoin's chat with Emma Bowditch.


Emma was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 12, but 10 years ago she had an experience with Transient Hypoglycemic Hemiparesis (“Hypo Paralysis”).


This was a nighttime hypo that Emma had, which led to temporary paralysis on the left side of her body, often misdiagnosed as a stroke.
