## Resource

In this inspiring episode of the Type 1 Club Podcast, host Jacqui Kidman sits down with Olly Green, an 18-year-old from Melbourne who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes during lockdown in 2020. Olly shares his powerful story — from the shock of diagnosis at age 14, navigating stigma and confidence, to finding his rhythm as an athlete and now setting an incredible goal: running 220km from Point Lonsdale to Portsea to raise awareness and funds for Type 1 Diabetes research. This is a conversation about resilience, growth, and turning challenge into motivation. Ollie's story is a must-listen for teens, parents, and anyone navigating Type 1. 💡 In This Episode You'll Hear: * Ollie's diagnosis story during lockdown — and the sudden onset of symptoms * The emotional and social challenges of being diagnosed as a teenager * How stigma and confidence played into his journey of telling others * His memorable supermarket hypo story (yes, involving an unpaid chocolate milk!) * Lessons learned managing Type 1 while playing elite-level football * The importance of routine, trial and error, and learning from mistakes * Transitioning to the Omnipod pump and how it changed his management * Preparing for a 220km run to raise $10,000 for Type 1 Diabetes research * Advice he'd give to his younger self — and to other teens with Type 1 * His go-to hypo treatment (and a very strong opinion about red snakes 🐍😄) 🏃‍♂️ Support Ollie's Run: Ollie will be running from Point Lonsdale to Portsea (220km over 6 days, Nov 9–14) to raise funds for Breakthrough and Type 1 research. 🎯 Goal: $10,000 📲 Donate or follow his journey via Instagram: @OllyGreennn [https://www.instagram.com/olliegreennn] (Link in bio for donations) Further Resources: Type 1 Foundation Website [https://www.type1foundation.com.au/] F…
