Using poetry to express living with diabetes and OCD - Duke Al

In today’s episode, I'll be speaking to spoken word artist and rapper, Duke Al.

Duke uses his poetry to express his experience of living with Type 1 diabetes and OCD. Duke uses music and writing poetry as a means of therapy to cope with mental illness. He is a published author with his recent book titled “Bittersweet”, which is a collection of poems about diabetes and features artwork by diabetes specialist and artist – Dr Sarah Ali Racaniere.

This is a special episode as Duke performs one of his poems exclusively for us. Find out more about Duke at the links below and check out his music on Spotify.

Until next time! Stay tuned.
