Living with a chronic condition feels like living with a full-time job and no days off. Musician Sarah Warren knows this well and offers a creative, unfiltered insight into living a life where numbers are vital to survival. With a medical history comparable to that of someone three times her age, Sarah’s story is a stark reminder that you can never tell what someone else has to cope with every day of the year. Diabetes affects around 5.8 million people in the UK, so Sarah’s journey with Type One diabetes is not an uncommon story. This feature is a personal, witty and creative take on the lessons she has learnt, and how medical advances and digital monitoring have evolved since she was first diagnosed 14 years ago. Diabetes used to be something that Sarah tried to keep from others now it’s something she wants to share proudly. Think of this as your permission to stare. ‘Life in Numbers’ gives you access to a world through sounds you’ve never heard before. You can’t see it, but you can listen. New Storytellers presents the work of new audio producers and this series features the winners of the Charles Parker Prize for the Best Student Audio Feature 2025. Sarah Warren worked on her feature while at Transmission Roundhouse, based in London, who run audio production training courses. The Judges praised Sarah Warren’s feature as “a good personal, informative account of living with diabetes… a very easy listen and the personality really shines through … with great illustrative sound design.” Producer: Sarah Warren A Soundscape production for �鶹�� Radio 4
