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.Support the show
