About this listen
In this episode we meet Jish, who has lived with Type 1 diabetes since a young age, diagnosed at two in Mozambique. She explores their personal journey, emphasizing the challenges faced due to lack of healthcare access, contrasting with her subsequent experiences in the UK. She shares her transition to using advanced diabetes management devices and details their passionate pursuit of a career in science and technology, inspired by her condition. She has co-founded a startup, 'HAEMA', developing an app to ease diabetes management by integrating science and technology. This narrative reflects her ambition to help others with similar conditions, demonstrating resilience and innovation. The conversation touches on the societal and cultural challenges faced, particularly within the South Asian community, and provides encouragement to Type 1 diabetics to live life to the fullest, pursuing dreams and breaking barriers.
