I'm a type 1 diabetic and I'm glad a show is finally doing something to raise awareness for this illness and show people the differences between type 1 and 2

Love Joel he's amazing and its nice to see Lacey have other characters to talk to as well she's so sweet and encouraging.

I’m so excited for this story. Being a fellow type 1 diabetic, I’m glad it’s getting some representation!

FINALLY someone i can relate to, i have had diabetes for almost 2 years i was talking to my mom a few months ago about there being no diabetic characters in hollyoaks thank you Hollyoaks for listening

I’ve been a type 1 for 30 years it’s nice to see it on hollyoaks hope they do a better job than what coronation street do !

6:16-6:46 Hollyoaks hits them serious stories again and reminding us that our conditions don’t define us. Well done

Such a great character Joel is awesome

Dang it . He's such a beautiful soul

Annabelle Davis is so awesome as Lacy. She should have her own show

i do love hollyoaks for these storylines and very grateful they do them, i know the actor will do this justice, but i do ask why hasnt any soap yet done a rheumatoid arthritis storyline in young people or juvenile idiopathic arthritis, so many of us suffer in silence as its not an understood illness and we too have to inject dangerous medications and put ourselves at risk, but this storyline will also help many others, well done to Andrew Still for covering the diabetes storyline x

What was the song at the end

What is that song at 7:00?

My question why when he said he is not great with needles due to being an ex addict did they not give him one of those dexcom things that people attach to their arm?

I'm glad that Joel gets his own storyline one that in real life has to deal with this.

Diabetes run in my family. I have seen people die from it, loose limbs,etc.

Oh my OA this looks really worrisome for Joel I don’t remember what that Male nurse said to Joel what kind of diabetes he has and the actor also has irl. I wonder if Cleo was still in the village and she found out about this (considering she’s a nurse as well as Peri) how would she react or what she would do to help him? I wish Misbah was there mostly instead of Shannon but I think since she’s the new boss of the hospital she should probably find a way to rehire Misbah since Leela’s getting her job back as a firefighter. I feel so sorry for Joel and for anyone who’s been through something like this but I do hope it’s not something that’ll kill him cause they’re always killing off the innocent characters in the village and having them leave. 😢

Life Change for Joel!

OA for anyone who’s reading this and who’s been through something like this what Joel has just know I will pray for you especially for the People on her who loathe me and delete their thread’s because I reply to others in them. Blessings from America 🇺🇸.

I love Lacey, she's lovely. Nice to see her with other characters than Rayne. Also glad to see Hollyoaks doing this storyline, they are always good at raising awareness and good with representation.

Lacey is also amazing

I be lucky to have Lacey talk to me. She knows what to say to people.

im surprised cleo didnt know about joels diabetes seeing as she worked at the hospital and that she almost married joel

Very brave of Joel👍I hope Hollyoak would start a glaucoma storyline

I have diabetes type 2 ❤

Rory has diabetes in real life

I love leela she's amazing . Am afraid to say this so that they don't kill her off too

😢

Joel

Hope there will be a scene of Joel telling Warren so he can actually be a father for once

It's probably to raise more awareness, considering Rory (Joel) has type 1 diabetes in real life.

I have disabets

Oh no…please don’t be Juliet 2.0…

0:07 WD what happened to him?#Hollyoaks 🤔

Leela's comments about Warren being sexist here are pretty ironic considering in the past she made fun of Darren for being rescued by a girl when he was trapped under a car at the garage and also she was literally a firefighter so it was actually her Job to help him.

But what us scary not the disease itself. What might follow

6:00 they gonna give him an fake tandem insulin pump if his character hates shots

🙄🙄🙄 it's really not that big of a deal as long as you look after yourself and take your insulin.

Joel to have type one diabetes.
