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.
