Work With Me!
Real-world insights from a dedicated diabetes advocate to inspire change and innovation.
Hello! I’m Jean, known as the_dia_being_mindset on socials. Living with Type 1 diabetes since 2006, I’ve seen it all – the daily challenges, the little victories, and everything in between.
Since 2020, I’ve been sharing my diabetes journey online, connecting with a community that has been life-changing, and advocating for access to care, technology, and understanding for everyone living with this condition.
​
I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some amazing organisations, like #dedoc°, IDF Europe, IDF Global, and Diabetes Scotland, and speaking at events close to my heart, including the IDF Europe Breakfast Symposium at the European Parliament.
My advocacy has taken me into policy work, community support, and beyond, and now, I’m so excited to share this work with a wider audience.
Consultancy
My experience isn’t just lived – it’s deeply felt, and it’s personal. From startups to established companies, I work with teams looking for an honest patient perspective that will help shape and refine their products, services, or patient outreach. If you’re developing something new in the diabetes space or need input that’s practical, person-with-diabetes-centric, and compassionate, I’d love to bring my insight to your team.
Product Reviews & Testing
I offer detailed, real-world feedback on diabetes products, apps, and services – the kind of honest reviews that are informed by my own life with diabetes. My goal is to help organisations improve what they offer while empowering people to make the right choices for their own diabetes management. I’m here for those who want to build or test something that truly supports our community.
Speaking Engagements
From workshops to panel discussions, I speak about living with Type 1 diabetes, what I’ve learned, and how to harness technology and tools for better management. My aim is to bring awareness, foster understanding, and share the power of the diabetes community.
