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!

EPISODE 6 PART 5 “Diabetes Can Be Wild: Mingling with the Elephants of Makhanda, South Africa”
Well, at long last, here is the second and final part of my podcasts about how I navigated Type One diabetes on safari in rural southeastern South Affrica --- Mahkanda, to be exact. It recounts my 5 days of encounters with the amazing elephants of Makhanda, how beautiful, respectful and, yes, how playful the elephants were, as my family and I mingled among them. Using some special family footage dating back to the 1960s, I add a bit of nostalgia, as I thought what it was liking splashing, playing and eating by the river back home during one of my own family’s summertime picnics. My safari vacation also includes re-telling some special encounters with the wonderful residents and vendors of Camps Bay, in Capetown, at the end of my family vacation. Finally, looking back one year, I share results about the impact that 10 days in South Africa has had on managing my own Type One. The results may surprise you ! During this podcast, I am sure you’ll discover some amazing footage of the elephants in summertime, and my own family from 60+ years ago ! Truly beautiful creatures and special family times !
