Welcome to the second Thriveabetes video interview of 2021 with Erin Dolan who talks about growing up with diabetes, the impact that having access to summer camps for children with diabetes had, the challenges of college, travelling and how she dealt with a pump malfunction in the Australian outback and so, so much more.

Welcome to the first Thriveabetes video interview of 2021 with Emma O’Toole and Niamh Downes from the Dublin Adults with Type 1 Diabetes Group which celebrated 10 years of existence in February 2021.
