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!

Type 1 Diabetes,The Juice IS Worth the Squeeze: Episode 5, Discovery & Diagnosis
Love to hear your feedback, text us!
Episode #5 of the podcast -- “The Juice IS Worth the Squeeze. Embrace It: 56+ Years as a Type 1 Diabetic, and Still Counting”, lays out some of the uncommon medical facts that preceded my diagnosis as Type 1 in Fall, 1968. At the end of the prior podcast #4, I recounted the events of a “violent and fateful night” in Summer, 1968, that triggered the physical changes leading to my T1D diagnosis 3 months later. In some ways, the origins of my condition were almost as unlikely as the lifetime I’ve experienced. More on this in later podcasts.
The physical injuries I suffered one night in June of that year, resulted in trauma with lifelong consequences. However, the consequences were not all bad outcomes, either health-wise, personally or professionally. To the contrary, the consequences led to lifetime opportunities and events I could never have imagined when I experienced a truly unexpected “life quake” in Fall, 1968. Stay tuned for more details in future podcasts on my life as a Type 1 diabetic for 56+ years, and still counting.
