Type 1 Diabetes: The Third Wheel

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) doesn’t stay in the background. It’s not just about managing glucose–it’s about navigating life with something that never clocks out. It follows you into every relationship whether with family, friends, romantic partners or coworkers.

And for many living with it, that constant weight can feel like a burden, one most people never see.

In this first episode of Voices of T1D, host Raquel Baron sits down with a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, Anna Sabino to talk about the emotional reality of living with T1D. They share personal stories about dating, friendships, work, marriage, and parenting, and the moments when type 1 diabetes forces you to speak up, slow down, or completely change plans.

Voices of T1D is a brand-new podcast presented by Breakthrough T1D that explores what it’s really like to live with type 1 diabetes. Each month, a new episode will explore the emotional, social, and day-to-day realities of living with T1D, featuring honest conversations with people who navigate it every day.
