Abbey had been a competitive swimmer in high school, but after she was diagnosed with type 1 at 22 years old, it took a while to relearn how to swim, not to mention live life normally, again. But when the non-profit Beyond Type 1 was putting together a team of 20 people with type 1 diabetes to bike from New York to San Francisco in the summer of 2017, Abbey signed up. When that was over, she looked for something even harder.

Dave Holmes and James Mansfield stop by the studio to discuss the mental gymnastics of living with type 1 diabetes. Plus Dave tries Afrezza while on the air.
