Episode 64: Kristina Morgan & Sana Ansari - Type 1 Diabetes
A first on the podcast, Sylvain welcomes two guests, Kristina Morgan and Sana Ansari, both living with Type 1 Diabetes. They each have a very different journey with the condition: Kristina was diagnosed at age 7, while Sana received her diagnosis at 38, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their conversation is both heart-opening and educational, shedding light on what it's truly like to live a "prescribed life" and how chronic illness reshapes relationships, routines, and self-perception.
The episode explores the emotional landscape of diabetes, from the guilt around food choices to the fear of unpredictable lows and highs, and the impact of the diagnosis on identity. Despite the challenges, Kristina and Sana share how their friendship and shared experiences have fostered mutual support and understanding in both their professional and personal lives.
