TypeCast: Life Between the Lines

From Burnout to Superhero: Dan Newman’s Path to Overcoming the Challenges of Type 1 Diabetes | TypeCast

Natalie Balmain Season 1 Episode 3

After several episodes of severe diabetes burnout and a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease, Dan Newman felt like he’d ‘failed the test’ as a person with type 1 diabetes. But a job at a diabetes charity would change his life, as working among other people with the condition gave him permission to become his authentic self and helped him to overcome feelings of shame and loneliness. After a kidney transplant in 2018 and through meeting inspirational type 1s at work, Dan has ‘taken back’ what type 1 diabetes has taken from him to become an advocate, marathon runner, and in the eyes of his nephew - a superhero!
