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 podcast is the multi-media version of a parallel podcast that lays the groundwork for explaining how different my life story is, as a Type One diabetic (T1D) for 55+ years. This podcast reviews facts and figures from recent T1D research, and personal stories that begin to make the case that "reasonable" control of T1D over a lifetime, can lead to remarkable health later in life. At age 71, a key lesson learned for me has been to NOT let pursuit of "perfect" control of T1D, come at the expense of "reasonable" control. The podcast also briefly introduces Part 2 of Episode 2, what T1D research data suggests may be the number of additional years of life my "10 Lifetime Priorities" have played in reaching age 71 as a T1D, without hospitalizations and complications.
