What is EPI? The link to diabetes (and whether you're at risk)

DIY Pioneer Dana Lewis was diagnosed with something called EPI – exocrine pancreatic insufficiency a couple of years ago. She'd never heard of it and was shocked to find out diabetes is considered a common co-condition. In fact, 20-30 percent of people with diabetes can end up with EPI. EPI can cause a lot of discomfort and stomach issues – and health issues if left untreated. Of course, Dana jumped in, publishing a review of studies and now- creating studies of her own. She'll explain what she's doing, why she needs your help, and more about this condition that doesn't get much attention. This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider.
