Jester speaks with Bill Blake this week about his ongoing pursuit to hike successfully, while being a Type I Diabetic. Right from the beginning of the episode, Bill shares with us his struggles and determination to keep hiking and figuring out his blood sugar levels, food intake, and proper mindset. It was not easy for Bill to share because, as he told Jester, "he deals with this daily and tries not to let it consume him."

November also happens to be National Diabetes Awareness Month. The timing of this episode could not have lined up any better! Please take a moment to click on the link below and read more about the focus and theme for this year's diabetes awareness focus.
