In this deeply personal and raw episode of the Type 1 Club Podcast, Jacqui Kidman sits down with her now close friend Sally Jeffree, who bravely shares the story of her son Henry’s type 1 diabetes diagnosis—and everything that came with it.

It all began with an unexplained fainting episode at a birthday party. What followed was a whirlwind: a type 1 diabetes diagnosis while Sally was caring for a newborn, and then, within 12 months, a coeliac disease diagnosis too.

Sally opens up about:

The moment everything changed
Navigating hospital stays and newborn care at the same time
The crushing weight of grief, guilt, and helplessness
The unexpected strength that comes from friendship, community, and being seen

This is an honest conversation between two mothers who understand the impact of a chronic diagnosis—not just on a child, but on a whole family. Sally’s story is raw, real, and ultimately full of connection.
