In today’s episode Eoin chats with Kalex Williams (@typewondiabetes).


Kalex is from London and was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 23.

  • How to find the funnier side of your Diabetes.
  • Why it’s important to laugh at the condition from time to time.
  • What he’s learned from Diabetes.
  • Funny “dating” stories and Type 1 Diabetes
  • And much more!
