Diabetes & Secondary School Difficulties

Welcome to another Thriveabetes interview! This time I’m joined by 21 year old Abbie O’Sullivan from Kerry. Abbie was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 12, however, she had a very difficult time in secondary school that resulted in moving to a different one in fifth year.

Abbie wanted to share her experience with getting counselling for her diabetes and how it really helped her. She was also one of our first guest posts in 2016 after attending her first Thriveabetes with her Mum Julie who also wrote a guest post for us.

Thank you so much for sharing your diabetes story with us Abbie.

Tune in next week for another interview with Aoife Gordon, creator of T1D Sugar Fairy
