Molly Bryant: 'I never thought I could achieve my dreams with type 1 diabetes'

Can we have a little moment for Molly please?
A burst of vitality, humility, candour and humour - achieving the dreams she once feared type 1 diabetes would prevent, AND keeping it @cutenchronic in the process!

The TikTok account that Molly started in lockdown gave her a whole new sense of purpose, and allowed her to turn her lack of self-confidence around.

Molly has had two lifelong dreams - to dance professionally and to live abroad - for as long as she can remember, and for a while type 1 diabetes threatened to take that away. Now she is doing both simultaneously, and her diabetes management is better than its ever been.

In this episode we discuss the gruelling schedule of a dancer and how she manages her condition in the heat of Sharm El-Sheikh, the isolation she felt from her friends around the time of her diagnosis aged 12, the confidence she's developed from owning her type 1 diabetes throughout her dance training, what finding the right type of support has meant to her, keeping it real on TikTok, and her next dream of showcasing type 1 diabetes across stage and screen.

It's impossible not to fall in love with Molly, enjoy the episode!
