PODCAST: DIABETIC DIARIES

David Burstow of Bexhill Lions hears his granddaughter share her thoughts about living with Type 1 diabetes via her podcast, Diabetic Diaries, broadcast from her home in Australia.

Diagnosed at the age of six, 12-year old Chloe started her short podcast episodes to help other children. She shares advice, experiences, and some funny stories. Her enthusiasm is a shining example how to make a difference in the lives of others.

Capalaba Lions in Queensland recognised Chloe’s efforts and decided to upgrade her podcast equipment after hearing her speak at a meeting. This will undoubtedly help Chloe continue to produce high-quality episodes and reach even more children who can benefit from her inspirational recordings.
