00:00You feel really dizzy around that side.

00:02Oh, my levels are going low now.

00:04Yeah, I think. You need something.

00:06I need to get some sugar down me.

00:09I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

00:12I was 11 years old.

00:13The exercise will bring down my levels.

00:15So I'm sitting down now,

00:17have fast-acting sugar.

00:19We need to wait for your levels to grow up anyways.

00:21I used to be very, I guess, insecure.

00:24I thought it was embarrassing.

00:25I remember the day you found my sensor,

00:27you went here and you touched.

00:29I was like, what's that?

00:30I was like, oh, no.

00:31Like, how did you actually feel when I found it?

00:33Were you like, oh, shit, she's found it?

00:34Gutted.

00:35Embarrassed and gutted.

00:36Really? Why?

00:37I think I would have probably hid that for a lot longer.

00:41Oh, that's quite sad.

00:43I feel like I worry about Finn's sugar levels

00:45more than he worries about it, to be honest.

00:47I feel like I take on the motherly role a bit with that,

00:50especially when his mum's not around.
