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

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.
