Description
You might think fashion is the last thing people living with diabetes have on their mind, but in reality, PWDs could benefit a great deal from clothing that is designed with both utility and style in mind. Naomi Kinnamon, who has lived with Type 1 diabetes since age 11, brings us those solutions that accommodate insulin pumps and injection sites. SPONSOR: The Real Life Diabetes Podcast has worked with a ton of brands who make life with diabetes a more pleasant one.
