Heeling Diabetes Lounge

Heeling Diabetes had the pleasure of interviewing @Type1Clothing Owner Natalie Balmain... Natalie Balmain is a fashion designer from England, and the creative force behind Type 1 Clothing. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 20, and this was ultimately her inspiration behind  her debut line, designed to help people manage their multiple daily injections more easily and wear insulin pumps more comfortably. Natalie has raised money for JDRF, Diabetes UK and other clinical research trials over the years and continues to pledge 5% of the profits from Type 1 Clothing. She talks frequently on the BBC as a diabetes and fashion expert, and has featured in The Guardian, Balance magazine and more, as well as her own series of vlogs raising awareness and education around type 1 diabetes.
