Removing Drama from Type 1 Diabetes for 58+ Years
How might you make managing a lifetime with T1 diabetes as simple as brushing teeth?
With more than 58+ years as a Type One diabetic (and still counting) --- no hospitalizations, no complications, no drama, and a little luck, I will share several priorities to help anyone with diabetes to live an enjoyable, active and healthy lifestyle, well into their senior years. Most importantly, you don't have to be "perfect" at these priorities, just be good! Trust me, they work and my life experience is proof positive!

This episode opens a discussion about how different my 56+ years as a Type One diabetic have been. It reviews some basic facts about the consequences of T1D management, even when not "reasonably" managed. Perfect control is not necessary, nor easily achievable. My story begins to make the case that "reasonable" control & success of T1D can yield remarkable physical health in retirement. As I point out in later podcasts and upcoming book, "don't let 'perfect' control of your diabetes, come at the expense of 'reasonable' control".
