In this empowering episode of The Urgent Lows with Palmr, Rebecca and Nick chat with Raquel from Type One Together, a groundbreaking platform supporting families navigating Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Diagnosed at just five years old, Raquel shares her journey from hiding her diabetes to becoming a fierce advocate and community builder.

Learn how a babysitting side hustle sparked the creation of a national T1D babysitter list, now a lifeline for parents seeking trustworthy care and mentorship for their children. Raquel reveals how Type One Together has evolved into so much more—offering resources for grandparents, masterclasses, relatable content, and heartfelt encouragement for families learning to thrive with T1D.

From her experiences as a dancer with T1D, to college, dating, and entrepreneurship, Raquel opens up about the emotional and practical challenges of living with diabetes. You’ll also hear insights into CGM boundaries with parents, the importance of representation in the T1D community, and why support systems for caregivers matter just as much as tools for warriors themselves.

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, caregiver, or a T1D warrior yourself, this episode is packed with warmth, wisdom, and the kind of relatability the T1D community craves.
