We talk with Simon McKee, who has lived with type 1 diabetes all his life. He hasn’t let the condition stand in the way of adventure, having experienced some of the most extreme environments on the plant, from racing across oceans, to climbing the highest mountains and trekking across a polar ice-cap. It hasn’t always been easy and has now left investment banking to run a company, Diabetes Take Control.

We host a final panel discussion consisting of two previous guests, Sajeela Kershi and Laura Spence, plus DRWF CEO Sarah Tutton. They explore some of the specific challenges they have experienced in their roles and lives involving diabetes. This is the final episode of eight special programmes, in our Living with Diabetes series, which takes an in depth look at women’s health issues. Our women’s health series is supported by Abbott.
