Rachael Countryman
Hi everyone! My name is Rachael Countryman, and I want to share all of my experiences living with Type 1 Diabetes. I’ll talk about the triumphs I’ve had with this disease but also the lows - I want to be very honest about my journey because it is far from easy! I will also have some wonderful guests who will share their stories too. Join me in educating everyone about this misunderstood disease! XOXO
Hello everyone! Join me as I talk with my awesome friend Emily about what it's like living with a disease as a young adult. I always learn so much from her, and it's amazing knowing that someone understands the struggles you face, even with a different disease! Enjoy XOXO
Happy #mydiabetesmonday everyone! I'm excited to have my first guest on my podcast - my awesome younger sister Emma who also has Type 1 Diabetes. Listen to her own experiences and amazing knowledge, humour, and tips! Enjoy XOXO
**Because my internet has been misbehaving lately, there are a few glitches/silent spots when Emma is talking.
Disclaimer - I briefly talk about dieting, disordered eating and mental health so if those topics are a trigger for you please skip ahead!
Today is another episode where I talk about a few different, important things - you'll learn about what drinking coffee and alcohol does as a Type 1 Diabetic, as well as hear about a great book, and my favourite local businesses with amazing products and services for Mother's Day, or any occasion!

Welcome to Episode 5! I wanted to share my experiences with some important topics related to this year, as well as rant about the harm of Diabetes jokes - seriously, they aren't funny and can make someone feel that their disease and struggles are nothing. As always I hope you learn just ONE new fact, and share it with the people in your life! Enjoy XOXO.
Hello everyone and welcome to Episode 4! Today I'm excited to share the life of an extremely important person in the Type 1 Diabetes community. He is the reason we are all alive today; the reason we can live with Type 1 Diabetes. He had an interesting life and you can learn even more about him at The Banting House Museum National Historic Site, right here in my hometown of London, Ontario! I hope you learn something new and are surprised as I was when hearing his story! XOXO
Welcome to episode THREE! Don't be thrown off by the title, I don't go into detail about blood, but about wound healing and how our blood sugar management affects things like tattoos and micro-needling facials! I also talk about my favourite aesthetician who has been with me through my skin journey, and a super exciting email I just got about my advocacy for Type 1 Diabetes. Hope you learn something new! XOXO
Welcome to Episode 2! Today I want to talk about an important body part that is greatly affected by Type 1 Diabetes - your eyes. The risk for eye damage increases when you have Type 1 Diabetes and want to make sure everyone knows how to care for your eyes and prevent that damage! XOXO
Welcome to my first podcast episode ever! I've been wanting to do this for a few years now but thought it would be too hard and didn't think anyone would care, but it's 2021 so I said screw it let's go! In this episode I will be telling you about my journey so far with Type 1 Diabetes, and being honest about all the experiences I've had. I may be a little awkward but hey, I'm new and I don't want to be scripted! Enjoy XOXO
Hi everyone! Welcome to my podcast! I’m a 27 year old woman living with Type 1 Diabetes, and I want to share my experiences with you. We will laugh, maybe cry, but most importantly create more awareness for this misunderstood disease. I hope you’ll join me in my journey, and help educate everyone about Type 1 Diabetes! XOXO
