In this episode of the Type 1 Club Podcast, Jacqui sits down with 23-year-old Emily Searle — a university student, childcare educator, and passionate Type 1 diabetes advocate living in Sydney.

Diagnosed with celiac disease at age three and Type 1 diabetes just one week before graduating high school at 17, Emily shares her powerful and deeply personal story of navigating two chronic conditions. From initial denial and needle phobia to learning how to advocate for herself and find community, Emily’s journey is filled with resilience, humour, and wisdom.

She speaks candidly about managing diabetes through exams, dating, travel, endometriosis, and the complex relationship with food — especially when living with both diabetes and celiac. Now a proud voice in the Type 1 community, Emily shares her life on Instagram to reduce stigma, empower others, and remind everyone that diabetes doesn’t define you — but it can shape you.

00:01:01
Speaker
1 Club. I'm your host, Jackie Kidman. I'm a mum to a Type 1 diabetic child, who's Harvey, and he was diagnosed in June 2022, just after his seventh birthday.
00:01:14

Emily's Diagnosis Journey

00:01:36
Speaker
Today, i have a guest with us, a young lady named Emily Searle.
00:01:41
Speaker
um so she's calling in from Sydney. So hi, Emily, and welcome. Hi, thank you so much for having me. Emily, do you want to introduce yourself to the Type 1 Club and share a little bit about you, um but then also go into what you recall about your diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes?
00:01:57
Speaker
Yeah, so I'm 23. I live in Sydney and I am a university student, but also I am a part-time childcare educator whilst I'm at uni. So I love love my job. I love uni. I'm studying to be a teacher as well. So it's all very exciting.
00:02:13
Speaker
I was diagnosed in my last year of high school at age 17. It was the week before my high school graduation, which was pretty um very stressful right before HSE. So not like the best time to get diagnosed, but what can you do I don't remember much leading up to it I just remember like feeling really sick drinking like liters and liters of water every day eating my mum would pack me like a lunch and I'd pack double that because I was just so hungry and I couldn't get through the day without the extra food and then
00:02:46
Speaker
They took me, mum took me to the doctor the last Friday before school finished. And i was just there for like a checkup and to get like a referral for something. And I remember saying to her in the car, like, oh, do you think I have diabetes?
00:03:00
Speaker
And she was like, no, no, no. And then she asked the doctor and I remember him saying, yes, I think you do. Let's check. And they checked my finger and it just read high. though There was nothing else. It was just high.
00:03:12
Speaker
And then I went and did like the ketone test and that was high as well. Oh, wow. Yeah. From there, I went home, packed a bag and we went straight to Blacktown Hospital and where I was diagnosed, which was pretty crazy. Oh my gosh. That is crazy.
00:03:27
Speaker
That's funny. That comment by you said to your mom, it's, do you think that I have type one? Had you had had any Do you know anybody in your life that had type 1 diabetes? What were you going say? I knew of nobody, but my pediatrician had always said, because I also have celiac disease, it's always something to look out for.
00:03:44
Speaker
And then it was like Father's Day, I think, where I'd said something as well before. i was like, oh, are you sure? Like, I'm drinking a lot of water. And mum was like, no, no, no, like, don't stress. And then it was on my mind and I'd done some Googling of why I hadn't felt so good, but I kind hadn't said anything because I had a phobia of needles. So I didn't want it to be true. So i was like, oh, hope not. But clearly it was. Okay. So celiac. So when were you diagnosed with celiac?
00:04:11
Speaker
When I was three. So it's been 20 years, a long time. At the time then around, obviously, living with celiac, then And someone along the line has said to you that you also could be predisposed to type 1.
00:04:24
Speaker
yeah Yeah, that was my pediatrician. Oh, my goodness. Said to watch out for it. More to my mum, but obviously, like, mum was coming to me with the appointment, so I heard um yeah I knew, but I didn't really think about it until when I started feeling the symptoms come on.
00:04:38
Speaker
So you got September, Father's Day, then, so what, you think four weeks was around the time that, yeah, four to five weeks that I was feeling really off for, and then it was the one night where my vision went blurry. Yeah.
00:04:51
Speaker
And that's when mum clicked it and she spoke to someone who she knew at school who had, like, because she's a teacher, who had diabetes. And then she booked a doctor's appointment and the next day.
00:05:01
Speaker
And just thrust into it where you're just like, okay. Yeah, i was like, um um and I literally said to my mum and the doctor, I was like, oh I'm going to die young because i was that's what i the stigma was, IQ. get diabetes, you die young, you're not healthy.
00:05:16
Speaker
And the doctor's like, no, you can live a perfectly healthy life. like It shouldn't stop you from that. so Yes, yes. And that's where that distinction between what type 1 diabetes is and type 2 diabetes is, I feel like is kind of quite

Understanding Diabetes Types

00:05:31
Speaker
important.
00:05:32
Speaker
Oh, yeah i feel like it's kind of pointed i i know it's important because yeah there is that kind of you know stigma yeah i mean type two and and people not understanding that there is actually a difference between type one and type two i just commented on some article that was released by the guardian and i just saw it and it was just saying it had said that one in fifteen australians living with diabetes But yeah there's nothing in the Instagram post. I'm sure if I could drill down and go to the, you know, the stats and all lots of stuff. yeah But there's nothing in the Instagram post that is actually saying, well, what, type 1, type 2, type 3?
00:06:07
Speaker
You know what I mean? Like, so it's just diabetes in general. Though I feel like ah there is a bit of a movement ah with the type 1 diabetes sort of community of there is, ah you know, there is some people would say there isn't, you know, they're still ah closely linked. But,
00:06:24
Speaker
I think the majority of type 1 diabetes sort of community we kind of feel like there needs to be that distinction writing it out in full type 1 diabetes or and even saying it because it is there is such a difference with type 1 to compare to type 2 so I've spoken in the past with a with someone who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and then within that first year I've then diagnosed with celiac yeah not around the other way where you've already kind of lived your life with celiac disease so you've
00:06:55
Speaker
you know, like that wouldn't really be much of a difference for you or a change in how you kind of perceived things or ate or you know a hundred percent it was more challenging when they were like oh you have to eat carbs and trying to find gluten-free carbs out of that are like better for you like eat whole meal foods but

Adjusting to Life with Diabetes

00:07:16
Speaker
not a lot of gluten-free food has whole meal food like whole meal in it so it's really that was the difficult like transition trying to find that sort of stuff but once I got into it it's been pretty good and there's a lot of low sugar things that I can get as well if I really want to have a low sugar but
00:07:31
Speaker
Again, being diabetic, I always say like I can eat what I would like um I just got to count for it. so Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Initially, when you were diagnosed day to day, what what did you find was the toughest for you?
00:07:44
Speaker
It was a real shock. Like I was in hospital from the Friday and I got home the Monday afternoon. So I was in for a few days. And then it was like my graduation week. So i was kind of thrown into a deep end where it's like the needles really threw me.
00:07:58
Speaker
I was absolutely petrified of having to do needles. i didn't like blood tests. So that was shock. cult shock and then counting carbs. I was like, what is this? Like, why do I have to count them? Why do I have to give myself a needle? It was because I had no, like, no one had told me really about diabetes. It's only from what I'd seen, like the stigma of it on the news or like people talking about it. I'd never known anything other than you get this disease because you're unhealthy so that was a big big big change and just my friends some of my friends would be like oh you can't do a needle near me please I don't like needles so that was also really hard for me because I understand but I was like I can't now change this this is what I have to do so yeah it was different different
00:08:47
Speaker
So you felt like at times you, you know, you kind of had to move away from your friends to be able to do this life-saving treatment that that I didn't have a choice to do anymore. Yeah. But then they're obviously like, Ooh, you know, yeah how do you do that?
00:09:00
Speaker
You know, like yeah how they, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can imagine. some sixty Like some, some people were so supportive and then um other people, it was a bit like, Oh, okay. And they had a bit of a different treatment for me, which was kind of a weird feeling.
00:09:13
Speaker
So that was hard as a young high school girl. I was like, Oh, okay. This is bizarre. Yeah. Yeah. And I can imagine like hormonally as well.
00:09:24
Speaker
I feel like that's a whole separate chat with ah one hundred set people on to talk about, you know, type one and, yeah you know, your period and your cycle. It is wild. I could not have imagined how crazy like that would all be when I was first diagnosed. So, yeah. Yeah.
00:09:41
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. so you're already kind of in a bit of a rhythm with your with your cycle and all that sort of stuff anyway when you're 17. But I can imagine it still changes a lot. it does. And then I also got like endometriosis as well. So that hasn't helped with my cycle and everything, but we've sorted it out a bit. So am doing better with that. And my sugars don't fluctuate as much, which is helpful.
00:10:05
Speaker
And with the endometriosis, do you work with diet as well? I mean, everything is kind of diet, isn't it? So, go Everything is diet. It's just, it's wild. Like, it's good that everything can, like, kind of diet can help everything, like, sort of settle it. But it's it is really, um it's really ah bit of a challenge some days.
00:10:25
Speaker
But, yeah. So HSC, then you go into like did you then have to sit exams? Did you get exemptions or how did you manage all that? We applied for exemptions and then like for, so I got ah got my own room because I then at the time had the CGM.
00:10:45
Speaker
They placed, I got that like three weeks after I was diagnosed so quite quickly and then so they put me in my own room and I got to like bring my food in and everything which was really good and then we tried to apply for special consideration just to help me get like a few extra marks because I couldn't study because i was so like couldn't see vision blurry I was so sick and then they actually didn't allow the extra marks because I hadn't been sick for six months prior So and that was bit rough.
00:11:13
Speaker
But um other than that, like I sat my HSE, I did i'd got into uni, which was the main goal. Well, I want to go back on to how did you deal with the needle phobia? Because I hear that this is quite common, particularly for like teenagers.

Transition to Insulin Pump

00:11:27
Speaker
Yeah, people like in hospital were like how now, even now if I have to go to hospital or get a blood test, people were like, but you do needles all the time. I'm like, I can now deal with doing the needles like in my stomach or the sight changes or the sensor changes.
00:11:41
Speaker
But a blood test is just a different story. So like I got over the fact like I have to put needles in my stomach and put things like on my arms or my legs or whatever. But so that's fine, like, because it keeps me alive and I know that that will help me.
00:11:56
Speaker
But a blood test is just a different story. Like, that's just, ah don't i don't know. I still have a phobia of blood tests. Okay. you've been able to move a little bit from just a generalized needle phobia because you can obviously...
00:12:08
Speaker
did you do your own needles kind of straight away? Yeah. The first day the doctors did the needles and the finger pricks. The second day I was like, okay, I'd like to learn to do the finger pricks. And then that night they're like, oh, you need to learn to do the needles, but that will come tomorrow. So Monday,
00:12:24
Speaker
I learned to do this the needles um which was like whoa crazy never would have expected that I'd have to learn to do that at 17 it wasn't my biggest worry my biggest worry at the time was like HSE getting through school so then I did learn the needles and then I've done them by myself ever since my mum does my CGM or my boyfriend or my best friend can do it but other than that I do everything myself Don't ignore the four.
00:12:53
Speaker
The four early warning signs of type 1 diabetes. Excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss and extreme fatigue. If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, don't wait.
00:13:06
Speaker
Get checked by a healthcare professional. Early detection and treatment are key to managing type 1 diabetes effectively. Why do you get the others to do your CGM?
00:13:18
Speaker
don't know. The needle is so big. So do that and then they can get it out fast. I don't have to look at it I don't have to worry about it. So like my boyfriend can do it quite quickly and so can my mum and my friends and my sister. So I like them just being like, okay, done, and I don't have to think about it, which is like a quick little thing for me. So, yeah, it's just easier thing.
00:13:40
Speaker
than me sitting there and looking at it and, oh, do I have to do it now? Okay, press the button, pull it out. Okay. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's interesting. yeah Yes. I mean, i do ah I do Harvey's. I mean, he's nine, but he's always like, okay, wait, you know, and then he's like, go.
00:13:54
Speaker
You know, like he would would or he'll count me down. I don't like him. I'm just like, ah do it. I'm just getting it done. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's almost like, you know, that sort of ripping the bandaid, but you started on needles. Yeah.
00:14:06
Speaker
How long, how long until you moved to a pump? um So I got diagnosed the 20th of September and I was on the pump by the 7th of December. So not too long. Yeah. It was quite quick. Is that because of the needle phobia?
00:14:17
Speaker
No, they just, my endocrinologist and my dietician and everyone was like, we just want you on the pump. You're young, get you on the pump now. So um that's what we did. The CGM was for the HSE and the pump was just like, okay, you're going on holidays. Like I was going on schoolies.
00:14:33
Speaker
So was like, or like I went on a cruise with my friends. It was just that easier. And then i wouldn't have to worry about bringing needles everywhere with me. I just had my pump supplies and like a random needle or two in case of emergency.
00:14:46
Speaker
So tell us about just your life of how do you manage, study, you know, going out, all that sort of

Living Fully with Diabetes

00:14:53
Speaker
stuff. You're 23. I can imagine that, well, social aspects, even like,
00:14:59
Speaker
Dating, I'm sure, you know, is challenging. Yeah, look, when I started dating my boyfriend, I was very nervous to tell him that i was diabetic. It was like I didn't want to be judged, but he's never made me feel judged, so that was that's amazing, and he's supported me through everything. I'm very lucky.
00:15:14
Speaker
But going out, it's it's hard. At first, it was harder because... I had this like big black box thing that I carry around with me that is attached to me and people look at you like, what are you what are you carrying? So that I felt like for for a while there I felt like people were judging me I'm like not knowing my story or anything was really hard but now I kind of I'm not ashamed of it because it doesn't change who I am so I go to uni I if I have to have sugar I have sugar if I beep I beep and my friends at uni and at work and just in life are really really supportive of it and if I am ever self-conscious they're don't be like you're amazing you it doesn't define you don't let it stop you so I haven't I've gone on holidays I've been on more cruises I've
00:16:01
Speaker
traveled to Melbourne to Queensland to Adelaide like I have never let it stop me doing what I want like I graduated I'd never actually thought I would when I was in hospital was like I'm never going to be able to do what I want to do and now I'm doing what I want to do plus some like I feel very lucky and it's just very it's a very big thing to think about how far I've come from when I was 17 to now And I think also people's perspectives of it have changed now. There's a bit more awareness around it, which is good. So people don't look at me like, or I don't think people look at me and look look at the pump and judge as much. I think they're more like questioning it.
00:16:39
Speaker
Like what is that? They want to know. Not that many people would ask, but sometimes like they might want to know rather than, what's that thing on her hip or her arm or something. So socially, it made me a bit worried making friends. At uni, I didn't want to tell people because I was nervous to what they think. But then i was like, you know, I can't let that stop me. I'm still me.
00:17:02
Speaker
No matter what. So, yeah. So what what do you tell your friends, let's say, when you go out yeah at night? Do you drink alcohol? I used to. i don't often anymore because I'm not a big fan of it. Like i don't really like I'm not a fizzy drink girl either, so I don't really drink much.
00:17:19
Speaker
I much prefer a water. So i tell my friends, like, how I'm feeling, if I'm up if my sugar's high, if my sugar's low. Like I'm very honest because that's, I guess, how they learn and how they can they can then learn how to support me as well do you share like with them of you know say for example if you were the sort of the symptoms I guess or the signs that you might be low or might be high do you share that with them or do they kind of go like oh do you what are your sugars like or you know like sometimes it can be
00:17:52
Speaker
like, you know, your mood might change or your, and they'll be like, what's going on? my My boyfriend knows when my sugar's high or low, he can tell because my mood is just like wild. Like if I'm high, I'm the grumpiest person ever and I feel so bad for him. I'm like, I'm sorry. And my friends are like, I think they can tell.
00:18:12
Speaker
i will say if I'm low, like, because I'll like i'll be like, i have to sit down, like I'll shake and I'll be sweating and everything. So I, if I'm low, yeah, but if I'm high, I don't really, I wouldn't really tell them. I guess I probably should if I'm really bad. Like if it's like higher than 15, I will say something because that's when it's like, oh, i actually have to give an eye. Like, oh, sorry, I'm being a real bitch. um My levels are high.

Managing Diabetes Symptoms

00:18:35
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, I'm really, really sorry. I'm not meaning to be rude to you. I'm just, I can't get out of this mood, which is really funny because I'm like, yeah, I'm not that moody. And my sugar's high. I'm yes, I'm horrible.
00:18:49
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. we I still haven't figured that out a little bit with Harvey. He will, definitely the lows, that yes that's easy because he will instantly go like, oh, I feel dizzy or. Harvey, have you ever seen those, um you know, the things in the park, the spinny things?
00:19:04
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. but You spin around and around. Yep. Harvey said to me, that's what it feels like to have a hypo. Ah. It's be on one of those things for him. Yeah. Anyway. So interesting. Yeah. But he's very hypo aware. So, and that will be his first sign is that he'll be dizzy. Yep. Or if he's trying to push through it, I'll notice that he'll like really like squeeze his eyes like a blinking. Mm-hmm. And I'll be like, are you dizzy? And particularly when he's like playing sport, he hates being, you know, me having to sort of step in and say, hey, hey, hey, you know. yeah
00:19:35
Speaker
He's like, no, like, you know, i find he's doing this funny blinking thing. Yeah. Which is obviously because he's dizzy. So he's trying to clear his vision. I think that's what it is sort of thing. yeah so But the highs, we don't really, I do find if it's a persistent high and it's been going for a while, he'll get a little bit emotional. Yes.
00:19:52
Speaker
Yeah, I get really i get really thirsty. I'm like, I must have ice cold water. And that, like nothing else will do. It has to be freezing cold ice water to help. And then...
00:20:03
Speaker
I like don't have energy, but I'm like I need to run or I need to go for a walk to get my sugar down, but I feel like terrible. Well, maybe that's Harvey actually it's always hung when he's when he's high, he's really hungry.
00:20:14
Speaker
And maybe that's because his body's trying to find some energy. Maybe that's what it is as well because I'm like, okay, can you just let the insulin kick in before you eat something? he's like, oh, my God, I'm so hungry. You know, like it's hard because you just want to eat so badly.
00:20:28
Speaker
Can I ask about, I guess we we hear a lot about, you know, food and you know it's such an obsession with food. So you've obviously got celiac, then there's this, it's not a, don't know if obsession is the right word, but to a degree we are obsessed with food, the carbs, the, you know, the protein, like all that sort of stuff.
00:20:47
Speaker
How have you as a young woman, ah feel like it's such a sort of sort of tough age, maybe if you're a little bit younger, maybe it would have even been tougher, to not feel like I can't eat that um and be really conscious in terms of then it doesn't sort of turn into something like an eating disorder or something like that.

Positive Attitude Towards Food

00:21:07
Speaker
I know that's a random question, but do you have any thoughts on that that you could share? I do. Look, still to this day get told that being diabetic, I shouldn't eat this or shouldn't eat that or whatever. And my doctor has said from day dot, like never, never let diabetes stop you eating what you want. So I don't. Like I will look at meal and be like, oh, that's a lot of carbs, but I can still eat it. And I'm very open with like my family and my friends and everything. I'm like, just because I'm diabetic, it doesn't mean I can't eat.
00:21:39
Speaker
And that's my mindset. I just remember like just because ah have diabetes doesn't mean i can't eat like whatever I would want. I just have to be cautious. And so I am more cautious of what I eat. I will.
00:21:51
Speaker
I also like take a lot of food out with me. I take my own food a lot of the time just in case. Is that more a diabetes thing or a celiac thing? Look, it probably started as a celiac thing, but it's become a diabetes thing because i am if I don't eat, I become worried, like, if my sugar's going to go low or high, what's going to happen?
00:22:10
Speaker
So I do sometimes take my own food out more than I probably need to or I'll like, okay, let me just grab a packet of chips here because I know that the chips will be safe. But, yeah, I'm very conscious to let myself And I always, like, never let myself think can't eat that because that's what gets told to me by people sometimes and I don't want to feel like...
00:22:33
Speaker
I'm stopped from eating things because I shouldn't be just because I have diabetes. It doesn't mean I can't eat what I would like, just have to be more reasonable than say eating, like I couldn't eat a whole cake, obviously not many people would want to eat a whole cake, ah but like I might have to have a bit of a smaller piece and then account for it if my sugar is like challenging me.
00:22:54
Speaker
So I'm just very mindful of like, it's okay to eat what I want. Just we've got like a positive food attitude. Yeah. Yeah, like i really try because i I do know it can change quite quickly and um mentally it is a lot for people sometimes and it can be very challenging.
00:23:08
Speaker
And I just try and keep that so that it may, it one day things may change, but I hope to like always keep a positive attitude towards it. Yeah, yeah. And ah for you as a, I know that you're quite active on social media.

Sharing the Journey on Instagram

00:23:23
Speaker
People can find you. What's your Instagram?
00:23:26
Speaker
emilyt1d. So I've had that for, A few years now, I was a bit nervous to actually make it because, again, I was quite, at the time, quite worried of people judging me. But I was like, I want to share my story so that people also feel free to share their story. And then the stigma can change around diabetes.
