Episode notes
In this deeply moving episode, Han is joined by Lesley and Neal Davison. In 2017, their 27-year-old daughter, Megan, took her own life as a result of a long struggle with T1DE, a deadly combination of food and insulin restriction.
Since her death, Lesley and Neal have campaigned on all platforms to raise awareness of this condition and successfully carried out a legal challenge to the outcome of her original inquest.
This episode highlights the urgent need for integrated care and the systemic reforms they’re now fighting for.
Key Takeaways:
- What is T1DE (type 1 diabetes with disordered eating), and why is it often misunderstood?
- Megan’s lived experience: from early signs to repeated hospital admissions
- How the lack of joined-up care between diabetes and ED services became fatal
