The insuleoin Podcast - Redefining Diabetes

In today’s episode Eoin speaks with Malala De La Pava (@malaladelapava).Malala was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 8 when she was in Venezuela, before she moved to Toronto, Canada with her family.Malala speaks about the different experiences she had with her management in Venezuela, compared to in Toronto.When the Covid pandemic started in 2020, she was diagnosed with APS-2 (Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 2) and Addison's disease. This completely changed her life as she now relied on Corticosteroids.This condition is not particularly well known or researched, which led to a lot of uncertainty for Malala. Much of which was learning how Corticosteroids affect her blood sugar levels, and how low cortisol levels can cause extremely low blood sugar levels.Hear more about Malala’s story and experience in her blog: https://www.pumpingthecure.ca/APS-2, or Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 2, is a rare autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks multiple endocrine glands, leading to deficiencies in the hormones produced by these glands.It is characterised by the presence of at least two or more endocrine gland dysfunctions, with the most common combination involving:1. Addison’s Disease (Primary Adrenal Insufficiency).2. Hashimoto's Disease (Autoimmune Thyroid Disease).As always, be sure to rate, comment, subscribe and share.
