In this raw and relatable episode, Catherine shares a chaotic, ketone-filled day that started with a hopeful run and quickly unravelled into tech fails, missing SIM cards, and rising ketones.

It's a candid glimpse into the unpredictability of type 1 diabetes—even for those who “know better.”

From insulin pump mishaps to the heavy fog of high ketones, Catherine walks us through the frustration, the surrender, and ultimately, the grace we must give ourselves.

Because some days, we’re not perfect—we’re just “good enough.” And that’s more than OK.

The Diabetic Mammy is the heartfelt, no-nonsense podcast where type 1 diabetes meets motherhood, community, and a whole lot of real talk. Hosted by Catherine, a mammy navigating the highs and lows of type 1 diabetes, each episode blends personal insight with practical wisdom, offering support for parents, carers, and anyone living with or loving someone with diabetes. From tech transitions and hospital diagnoses to school lunches and stolen sleep, this podcast embraces the messy, meaningful moments that make up life with chronic illness. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or a seasoned warrior, The Diabetic Mammy is your space to feel seen, supported, and never alone.
