What was life with type 1 diabetes like before home glucose meters, fast-acting insulin, or CGMs? In this episode, Dr. Mark talks to Bob, who has been living with T1D for over five decades. Diagnosed in 1972, Bob takes us through his journey of navigating college, sports, and a career with little guidance on diabetes management. He opens up about how he used to keep his diabetes a secret at work, how a major complication changed everything, and how he went from staying quiet to becoming an advocate—including introducing President Biden at the White House.
