Episode 34: Big Events and Blood Sugars with Jenna from Type One Vibes

Type 1 Club Podcast
Avatar
98 Plays17 days ago

In this episode of The Type 1 Club, Jacqui is joined by Jenna from Type One Vibes to talk about the realities of preparing for a major life event, including weddings while living with Type 1 diabetes.

Jenna shares her experience navigating the lead-up to her wedding with Type 1, unpacking the often unseen mental load that comes with managing blood sugars, stress, expectations and routines during big, emotional events. From planning ahead and troubleshooting “what if” scenarios to letting go of perfection on the day, Jenna offers honest insight into how Type 1 can show up during milestone moments.

Together, Jacqui and Jenna discuss practical strategies for event preparation, including how to plan for long days, unpredictable schedules, food, alcohol, dancing, photos and adrenaline — all while still wanting to feel present and enjoy the moment. They also explore the emotional side of big events: body image, pressure, comparison and the grief that can quietly sit alongside joy.

This conversation is both grounding and empowering, offering reassurance that with preparation, flexibility and support, people living with Type 1 can show up fully for life’s biggest moments — without needing everything to be perfect.

Meet the Host and Guest

00:00:54
Speaker
Welcome to the Type 1 Club.
00:00:59
Speaker
Hello, and welcome to this fortnight's episode of the Type 1 Club. I am your host, Jackie Kidman. I am a Type 1 mum to a boy named Harvey who was diagnosed in June 2022 at the age of seven. I am excited to have ah like a guest that I've followed on Instagram. We've never met each other in person, which was majority of my guests really. But I reached out to her after um I saw some amazing, she had an amazing, beautiful wedding and we'll go into that. um if I'd like to introduce you to Jenna Cantemessa.
00:01:35
Speaker
Hopefully I said that surname right. So Jenna, or some of you may also know her from her Instagram, which is type one vibes. That's a really cool little Instagram that I've discovered. recently as well. So Jenna, thank you so much for your time and um coming on to the podcast. Welcome.

Jenna's Diagnosis Story

00:01:54
Speaker
Oh, thanks for having me on the podcast, Jackie. i'm excited to be here. So could you just start by introducing yourself in the type one aspect self of your diagnosis sort of story?
00:02:07
Speaker
i think that's always a good place to start for everybody. Sure. So i had a life pre-diabetes and now I obviously have my life with diabetes. I was diagnosed specifically on the 28th of September in 2012 as a 19 year old. And I can say that I remember that day so clearly. I had no common signs of diabetes, none of the four T's. But the thing that was giving me a hint that something wasn't quite right was a significant amount of hair loss that I was having. I was going through mid-semester university exams. I had just lost my one of my grandparents. So I guess in my mind it was masked by a bit of stress. I thought, I'm stressed.
00:02:53
Speaker
You know I'm losing my hair. That's normal. It went on for about a month and I thought, oh, this is probably not... something I should leave. I'll just go to the doctors and get it checked out. So at that time I'm from Ingham. So I drove back to Ingham and I went and saw my family doctor there with my mum who come in as well. And basically the doctor um sort of just said to me that it probably wasn't something obviously normal, um that they were going to run some blood tests and see what they come back as.
00:03:25
Speaker
um And now my family doctor had gone away. so I was put under another doctor um in that interim. And it was about two weeks and we hadn't heard anything. And mom's a bit of a warrior and stressor. So she rang them up and said, look, Jenna's home for this weekend. Does she need to come in at all? Is there a recall? And they said, oh, yeah, there's a recall, but it's not urgent.
00:03:48
Speaker
And so she said, oh, she's home on Friday. Can we come in then? So, you know, we were obviously relieved immediately that they said it wasn't urgent. So we went in there and, you sitting down and he said, oh, so your bloods are fine, but you have diabetes. Oh, ah okay. That's real, not not even like softly...
00:04:09
Speaker
Like a double-handed comment. Like it's fine but not fine. And um mum said, you know, again, your your typical thought goes to she's not overweight, she doesn't eat unhealthily. Like...
00:04:24
Speaker
What do you mean she has diabetes? And diabetes was not something that run in the family. So we had no idea about it. And he just said, oh, no, it's type one diabetes. So it's autoimmune. And there was autoimmune illnesses that run in the family. So, um,
00:04:40
Speaker
yeah And then he just, he got me up, he took me over into like the nursing room and he said, just lift your shirt up. And he got an insulin injection and he wound it up to eight and he said, just place it in your stomach here.
00:04:54
Speaker
And I said, well, how long do I need to do this for? And he said, oh, I definitely And I think at that moment I was just just stunned and just shocked. And we walked back into the room with mum and I think she could just see on my face that, yeah, it wasn't good.
00:05:14
Speaker
And um he just slid a tissue box towards me and was like, oh, don't worry, it's very manageable. And sent me on my merry way home. um I saw no nurse.
00:05:25
Speaker
I wasn't, you know, handed over straight away to a diabetes clinic. I wasn't hospitalized. They sent me home Friday afternoon.

Finding Medical Support

00:05:33
Speaker
And luckily at that time, my previous partner, his mum had type 1. Oh, wow, that's weird. Yeah. And, you know, I guess when i guess when you don't have that exposure to Type 1, you just, you knew bits and pieces of it, but I guess you took for granted actually really diving into understanding what Type 1 was until that moment. And luckily for me, she raced um from her place in Townsville to Ingham. And she was there for me, which was a huge thing. um i remember mum literally going to the pharmacy and coming home and she just had these two bags full of stuff. And she's like, I said that you had type one, like to give me everything that I needed. And they've given me all of this. i don't know what to do with it. And yeah, there was a week of me navigating it with no sort of help apart from my mother-in-law at the time. And she gave me my first injection that night because I was a mess. I was very needle phobic. I would pass out with blood tests. And she sort of, yeah, I remember her whispering in my ear to be like, I'm going to do this injection for you. But from now on, you need to do it yourself.
00:06:48
Speaker
Is that like normal practice in wherever, where where you are that I just can't believe that the GP would just be like, here's a jab. Yeah. You know, we brought it up with the practice after that and said like, this shouldn't have, at that time we didn't know what should have happened. But then when I got into hospital with their endocrinology unit, we soon realised that that shouldn't have been the normal.
00:07:12
Speaker
Okay, so how so just let me just need to close this off because I'm in a little bit of shock about it. So when did you get into the hospital system?

Family Support and Life Adjustments

00:07:21
Speaker
So fortunately, mum had a friend who she used to go to school with who she knew she was a diabetes educator.
00:07:29
Speaker
So she rang her the day after, told her what had happened, and luckily she got in touch with the endocrinology unit in Townsville and said, look,
00:07:40
Speaker
We've had this situation. She's had no help. um Is there any chance that you guys can fit her in next week? And so they did, thankfully. Wow. That is wild. One thing I remember is when we were going into the lift um to go up to the clinic, there was a mother and daughter in there.
00:07:59
Speaker
And the mother said, oh, have you been to the clinic before? And mum said, oh, no, she just got diagnosed. And the mother was like, you need to get her psychological help now. And so that was, it was very daunting because it was like, oh, my God, like what what what is this going to be? Like it it probably wasn't the most comforting thing to say to a mother and daughter, you know, straightaway going in because it just put the fear of God in us. um But, yeah, you could see how, I guess, traumatised that mother was.
00:08:31
Speaker
Wow. You've had a lot of people there in that experience that need to work on their bedside manner, I think. But... um Like the drunk ghetto psychological help, but the way that it's like, oh, it's only type 1. By the way, you've got diabetes, yeah not urgent. But, wow, just.
00:08:49
Speaker
I don't know if it was because of my age, being 19, whether or not he, ah don't I don't know, didn't see a need to, yeah, I don't know, react in a certain way. But, yeah, obviously at 19 that was a huge thing to be hit with.
00:09:04
Speaker
Yes, I can imagine. i can imagine. Okay, so you go and you get this support and then you start to get on a bit of a track of being able to manage. Yes, yes. Like on your own, doing your own injections, starting to do all that sort of stuff. Yeah, yeah it was it was ah It was a hard year even for my family. I think mum was still in a bit of denial that I had it But I guess being 19, I sort of tried to take control of it straight away.
00:09:35
Speaker
And in in a way, i look at I look back at it now as a bit of a blessing. I'm sort of glad I didn't get diagnosed at a younger age and because I know how much stress my mum and my dad and my sister went through. I would have hated to have had them to be the ones to be the primary carer for me.

Wedding Planning with Diabetes

00:09:52
Speaker
Yes, it's it's one of those things, isn't it? Because you think, I think often when kids, you know, like but people are diagnosed at a very young age that you kind of go, well, they won't remember their life before without type 1, then it's also like for you and you're like I've lived well currently you've lived more of your life without type one than you have with type one and I think with what you've just said there you've sort hit the nail on the head and I guess the reassuring thing that with all the people I've crossed paths with the ones who got diagnosed as children say they couldn't imagine getting diagnosed at my age that they would have hated it and then the ones at my age who got diagnosed say the same thing as me so I guess
00:10:31
Speaker
That's probably a silver lining that people don't feel like they've gotten ripped off either side. Yeah. I just guess you just don't know what you don't know, do you? No. Yeah, because I often say that. Harvey was seven, so I think, oh, you know, he kind of doesn't really remember yeah life. like We're three and a half years in or whatever. He doesn't really remember life without it, but then he sort of does to a degree. But mum's like, I remember life without it. Yeah, I ah remember life without it too. and I do remember like just thinking, oh, things are just starting to kind of get back to like normal and we're starting to get a bit of a life. and Yeah.
00:11:07
Speaker
And then, yeah, we we do. We still have a life now, but it's just it's just different. More planning. Yeah, more planning. So speaking of planning, you had a beautiful wedding in 2025. I loved following along. i i love, you know, like following along on dress fittings and things like that. i um I think that...
00:11:28
Speaker
For a ah woman with type 1 and when you're wearing tech and when you've got a big event like like a wedding or a formal or a you know gala or something like that, that sometimes i see a lot of questions around where do you wear tech?
00:11:43
Speaker
you know, this, um if you're getting a spray tan or, you know, just things like that. Jenna shared a really beautiful post about about this, but I thought it'd be great as ah for her to talk as well because I'm sure there was more stuff that you wanted to include in that um about her prep for her wedding and and how the day went and stuff like that. So i would love for you to share a little bit about where you put your tech, how you managed it on the day, where you were thinking, yeah, like just...
00:12:12
Speaker
Just tell us, tell us all about it. Oh, gosh. I feel like, know, planning a wedding is a huge feat and then adding diabetes in with wedding planning is just amplifies it. ah best ah Hang on. And her wedding was also in Italy. So you've also got a block of time where you're in another country having to take the honeymoon as well as the wedding all at the same time. Yes, it was all happening.
00:12:39
Speaker
i guess for me the things that I was thinking on earlier on in the piece was, you know, site planning. For me, one month before the wedding, i didn't put any devices on my upper body um as I didn't want any site tans or reactions to adhesives to mark my skin before the big day. i also didn't like wear my Garmin watch or anything out in the sun either because I didn't want the famous watch tan. It's...
00:13:05
Speaker
And I guess it's up to the choice of the individual, honestly. um I think a big factor, too, is the style of your wedding dress. Mine was a figure-hugging crepe dress that I couldn't hide much at all, whereas if you're going with that princess-style dress, you can hide a lot more.
00:13:23
Speaker
And my dressmaker, she said she's done heaps of pump pockets that she's thrown into the dresser's for tube pumps for a lot of girls which was you know really lovely to know and to have that conversation about it um she said to me she's like but I can put your pump in a pocket and I said oh look it doesn't help me much because I'm on the Omnipon and my pump is stuck to my skin and so explained that and how that worked to her as well and you know of course you don't need to hide it you can wear it loud and proud and I've seen a lot of beautiful brides who have and you know it's it's worked beautifully for them and I'm so happy for them I placed my Dexacom G7 under the ruching of my dress on the stomach. So I got to hide it in that so it wouldn't be visible. It's good timing, I guess, from when the G7 came out. Yes, that's what I was just going to say because with the G6, I definitely couldn't have done that and that's the beauty of having the G7 so small now. um and about an hour before walking down the aisle I then removed my omnipot and yeah and I covered the site with a small band-aid because I was concerned then that the blood like you know how sometimes when you're pulling it out there's a bit of excess blood or insulin and I was like the last thing I need is for that to come on my dress weep through So was like, all right, had the little bandaid ready to go. Yeah, because I couldn't hide my pod without seeing it under my gown. um And for me, i wanted a day with no visible devices because i guess this is a day where I was going to be photographed all day. Um, and it was also the most beautiful that I was going to feel. And I didn't want diabetes being involved in that. Um, I guess, because I look, you know, you look in the mirror every day and the devices are always, I guess, what catches my eye first and that's fine for day to day. But my wedding day, I just, I just didn't want that.
00:15:22
Speaker
And I knew that these photos were going to be up in our home forever. And I didn't want to look back. in 20 years time, which, you know, if if we hopefully get a QR or I'm sure we'll get smaller devices, I just didn't want to see that visual object and think, I really wish I didn't wear that. And there's always Photoshop, obviously, as a backup. But for me at that point in time, that's that's where my mind was. And I guess, you you know, you could look at it on the flip side and be like, you know, this device is what has kept me alive and able to make it to my wedding day. So these two sides, you just got to choose really what makes you happy. um
00:15:59
Speaker
the i guess the negative to not wearing my pump on the day was that I didn't have these beautiful shiny levels. um on my wedding day. You know, obviously I had the CGM on, which really was a lifesaver, but my levels were sitting over 10 probably for most of the day. And I'm probably lucky in a way that I personally don't feel any different when my sugars sit above 10.
00:16:25
Speaker
um I never have from day one. But I know a lot of people are really sensitive to the highs. And obviously, you know, that's something that you need to try and work out. I advise with your healthcare team to work out what's the best way forward with that.
00:16:40
Speaker
My biggest fear was that i just I didn't want to go low, walking down the aisle or saying my vows and not remembering them. So I purposely was sort of not giving myself as much insulin on the day just to run those numbers a

Post-Wedding Diabetes Management

00:16:58
Speaker
bit higher. And funnily enough, dean Dean, while we were saying our vows, Dean had a small packet of jelly beans in his suit jacket, which he incorporated into his vows. So we were both chewing on jelly beans mid-ceremony. And I guess, you know, that's a big tip on your wedding day to like marry a person who supports you 100% because I yeah couldn't imagine being with someone who made me feel even worse about living with a chronic condition. We already have to deal with enough and a supportive partner obviously means the world of difference. So I'll say that.
00:17:29
Speaker
Then throughout the night, i obviously worked with my healthcare team to talk about how I was going to give that do my insulin and obviously you have a plan but sometimes that plan goes out the window especially when it's your wedding day yes um And you're in the moment and you want to stay in the moment and then it's my hard to kind of go, oh, hang on, did I do that injection? Exactly. And that's what I was finding because I'm not used to remembering anymore when I'm doing injections. But also it's thinking ahead, like our dinner, obviously being an Italian wedding, we had food after food after food.
00:18:07
Speaker
And I was concerned about giving myself too much just because I was forward thinking about being on the dance floor and then dancing all night. I think I only, yeah, I probably gave myself half of the amount that I would have normally given. and of course, yes, I ran high during speeches and whatnot.
00:18:27
Speaker
But, again, you know, that was what I wanted to do because I, yeah, just didn't want to go low at any point during the day. And I figured, you know, one day out of 365 days wasn't too bad to sort of not not be fully in the moment of managing the diabetes.
00:18:48
Speaker
Don't ignore the four. The four early warning signs of type 1 diabetes. Excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, and extreme fatigue.
00:18:58
Speaker
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, don't wait. Get checked by a healthcare professional. Early detection and treatment are key to managing type 1 diabetes effectively.
00:19:11
Speaker
So just let me just clarify. So you took your, the pod off, took your pump off just before you walked down the aisle. Yeah. And then through ceremony and all of reception, you are then doing MDI. Yeah.
00:19:27
Speaker
Yeah. And obviously because the plan was to run that bit higher, I wasn't, yeah, I wasn't sort of, I think maybe that night I might have just given myself two injections, if that. um And I guess the the thing too that I found really helpful on the day was i You know, I talked about it with my best friend who is a nurse as well, which is really convenient.
00:19:53
Speaker
um I sort of said to her, can you just can you just keep an eye on my phone and my levels um throughout the day and just let me know if there's anything that I need it? sort of take quick action on. I think that's a really important thing to do. And even Dean, I think Dean's just got the habit too, like he was looking as well.
00:20:11
Speaker
And the day goes so quickly from when you're getting ready to when you're walking down the aisle to speeches, to dancing, that having someone to be your extra set of eyes on your levels for the day is is really helpful.
00:20:24
Speaker
That is such a good tip. i was going to sit I was going to say, did you do something like that? Because i mean, I know that women do that in birth, that they have an extra person not necessarily the partner, um looking at sort of their sugars, keeping an eye and just feeding them or, get you know, like gnosing or whatever. Someone who's got that knows what they're doing.
00:20:44
Speaker
And, you know, even if even if they're not a nurse, you know, you you can give them guidelines. Hey, if my levels go beneath this number or above this number or you see two arrows shooting down, just just give me a heads up. I love that. I love those little tips of, know,
00:21:00
Speaker
because i guess you know there's so much emotion you know like we talk about like you know diabetic type one is not just about like the carbs in carbs you know that sort of stuff into excitement the emotion on the day that just yeah that it can all just be you know and if you're having to kind of like not like kind of like oh hang on I've got to check my levels or it can kind of feel like that extra baggage in and really hinder, you know, like you actually being in the moment. So I love that you forward planned a lot of that stuff so that you could just have your day and not...
00:21:36
Speaker
and not have to constantly be checking your numbers, even though i guess your husband was he was. He was doing a little bit of that. It's like, you know, bless him, and now and down he's going to be doing it for the rest of his life, which is like his. He is with me now. And then anything else that you would have that you thought, oh, this could have worked a bit better that you look back on?
00:21:57
Speaker
Was it easier to go back from when you were doing MDI and then you just went, when did you put your pump back on? ah That was probably the thing I should have done better. um So I think, oh, God, if we didn't get home till 3 So you can imagine by that time, i just wanted to go to bed. And I actually completely, i think I completely forgot to put a new pod on.
00:22:21
Speaker
So I think I just hit the bed fell asleep. And then I remember my PDM through the night, know, vibrating because obviously it's gone. You haven't got a pump And then I woke up in the morning and I think, yeah, I think my levels were probably like 12, 13. I had given myself some long acting um still while we were at the reception. So not just fast acting. So you did a mix. No, not just fast acting. Okay. Yeah. yeah Which in hindsight, thank God you did because then it's covered you overnight. Yes. yeah um But I think, yeah, it probably would have been good to do it. I guess once the photographer had gone home, it would have been good to just set aside some time to just put my pump back on to avoid, you know, doing the long acting and then, you know, having, I guess, not having overnight that I was getting interrupted by the PDM. going off and I think that probably hindsight that would have been a better thing to do because I did take I did make sure like I took a little clutch bag um that matched my dress and that was something i was so i think I was so worried that I was going to forget like my handbag with the jelly beans and the needle and because and the you know
00:23:37
Speaker
everything in there but I sort of had that ready the day before I put it on the bed where my shoes and all that were so that way there was no chance of forgetting but but I guess if you were for example going to be like a bridesmaid and you didn't want to have that like in photo like it's just an example of that that you could then put that pod back on That's it. The funny thing was two months before that, I was bridesmaids for my sister's wedding. Okay. So I did wear my pod that day and the only thing I changed was just putting my CGM, I think, on my stomach too at that point. And you could see in the dress because it was a silk dress, so silk obviously shows everything.
00:24:18
Speaker
You could see in the dress that there was a little bulge, but in in my mind i was like, it's not my wedding day. um I'm happy if if there's a little bulge in there, I'm happy with that. um So, yeah, i guess it's your decision-making as to what you want to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely. But ah what I love is that there are just options. Do you know what I mean? Like it's just...
00:24:42
Speaker
it's not that, well, you're on that pump and that's where you have to stay, or, you know, there is a way to chat with your, your, you know, your care team and sort of say, well, this is what I'm thinking. Is it, you know, how do we do that?
00:24:54
Speaker
And, you know, just like it, it makes it possible. It doesn't sort of box you in. no. Yeah. Which I feel like we can think that diabetes is really restrictive and it's so consuming and stuff like that. But, I feel like you had like this really like a bit of a bit bit of freedom on on that day. and And I think that's the thing. you've just You've got to give yourself grace on your wedding day. Like it's going to be one of the most emotional, happiest and busiest days of your life that diabetes can take a back seat and I think that's something that you've got to get in the mindset of that if if things don't go to plan with your levels on the day that's okay I mean providing you don't end up with this massive hypo or your levels are sitting up at 25 30 obviously you have to have an element of care for that but yeah it's
00:25:46
Speaker
it definitely wasn't a perfect day for levels, but it was a perfect day for every other reason. so Your levels actually sound great, to be honest. I mean, look, I think... Maybe not for you, but like... I think the highest they got...

The Importance of Community

00:26:00
Speaker
think was like about 21 okay yep they definitely they definitely got up there was that was that when your was that when your friend was on the dance floor or something and took it she was like oh just like that's after we finished like the fifth course having to then again i'm thought oh okay guys we need it we need to start this dance floor to start yeah yeah that's right probably even if you ever had your pod on or anything like that would still have those issues and yeah Yeah.
00:26:28
Speaker
Oh, Jenna, so amazing. I think they're really great little tips and I um i really want to thank you for all that you share. we were just talking before we started recording of of the the the effort that goes into, as I said, Jenna runs a really lovely Instagram page and she shares all about her her type one life, her journey. And i think that it's, you know, one of those things that it takes up so much time to put put content out. it's not It's not as simple as it looks.
00:27:01
Speaker
No, it's definitely not. And she does that just, you know, it's' we were saying it's like another, it's just another job, but it's um it's an unpaid one. um But it's you've created this lovely community, you were saying, around around that page and and awareness and stuff like that, which I think is really inspiring, particularly for young women. I think it's something I i didn't have when I first got diagnosed. Social media obviously wasn't huge then. And when it was, there they weren't these health pages or people living their life with chronic conditions. And it was only five years into my journey that I thought, you know what, i I want to create a page, but I want to create a page to learn more from others. So I didn't expect, I guess, to be doing what I'm doing now then. But yeah, it's it's it's when you get messages from people every day of, you know, how you've you've helped them in different situations. It's, yeah, it's it's amazing. It's
00:28:03
Speaker
Really rewarding. Yeah, absolutely. And that's what I think of that it is around the work that we do. It's, you know, inspiring others and showing people that of what's possible. And, and yeah, like you can imagine that the girls that were diagnosed 20 years ago that didn't have anybody representing them um and in in the media, really, and now we've got such an amazing, like, community. It's amazing. It's an amazing community. I remember talking to um one of the newspapers one day and I had obviously, like, I'd gone over to Portugal as a young diabetes leader for Australia. and Oh, wow.
00:28:41
Speaker
Yeah, it was it was it was incredible two years. um And the reporter was sort of like, oh, I didn't realise that, that was all happening in diabetes. And I do really think that out of all sort of the conditions, the diabetes community is a

Favorite Hypo Treatments

00:29:00
Speaker
really strong one. um And, you know, it's it's not one that you naturally want to be a part of, but when you're a part of it, I couldn't imagine my life without it.
00:29:09
Speaker
Jenna, I like to ask all of my guests this last question. What is your go-to hypo treatment? Jelly beans. Oh, yeah. Jelly beans. I ah feel like I need to get to a point where I need to start having poppers or, you know, something that's probably not. But the jelly beans have just been so good with me. But obviously, if I'm hiring, then the hybrid treatment extends beyond the jelly beans and to the Nutella, the peanut butter and everything else inside. Yeah.
