Health EN ↓ 6 episodes

The Life of a Low Girl (LOALG) is a new content platform from Children with Diabetes built around honest, unfiltered conversations about life with type 1 diabetes. Through real stories, emotional conversations, and expert insight, LOALG explores the everyday realities of T1D, from burnout and relationships to exercise, identity, and life in the “waiting room” (living with a Stage 1 or Stage 2 T1D diagnosis). This is a space for people living with type 1 diabetes, families, caregivers, and anyone looking for connection, understanding, and conversations that feel real.
