mostra másThe X Factor finalist, one quarter of platinum-selling group The Overtones, songwriter, radio presenter, artist manager and former Royal Navy physical trainer, it’s fair to say that Jay has experienced a lot of what life has offer.
Jay’s first introduction to type 1 diabetes had come early in 2022 when he started to manage singer and fellow type 1 diabetic Tom Ball, after he shot to recognition on Britain’s Got Talent.
But nothing could have prepared Jay’s family for the shock of his son Franklin’s rollercoaster type 1 diabetes diagnosis just a few months later.
There’s a lot of emotion in this episode, as Jay openly admits to still processing not only the diagnosis itself but the longevity of the condition and what it means for Franklin, now 4.
But there’s an incredible amount of hope too, as between the dad guilt, the grief and the pressure to get things right, Jay continues to lead with heart while taking a practical approach to making things better - not only for his family, but for others in the community.
And today, Jay is launching mydiabetesstory.org to do just that - a platform designed to bring people together and show the power of community.
