Description

My dear friend and fellow type 1 Ami Bennett is back to say hello. So obviously this episode is full of  mischief, escapades, hypo gremlins, and guess what? We've STILL both got type 1 diabetes...

We sweep through so much fun (and not so fun) stuff this week, having a good old catch up about everything from turning into hermits of routine by choice, being confronted by security staff about diabetes, dating, shoving Haribo into your face in a public toilet to fix a hypo... it's a glamorous life.

We shoutout some awesome people doing awesome things in the community, and of course The Diaries wouldn't be complete without an appearance from Ami's lovely dog Milou.
