Josh has quite the story to tell! He's 29 years old and was incorrectly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about a year ago after a visit to the ER. After being sent on his way with a prescription for Metformin, Josh began to research what was happening in his body and started to suspect that he had Type 1 diabetes. He later made an appointment with an endocrinologist and received the correct diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. With the correct diagnosis in hand, Josh began researching how to better manage his blood sugars. Through his research, he stumbled upon fasting as he was attempting to dial in his basal rates. Once he discovered fasting, he realized that he had found an invaluable tool to better manage his blood sugars. Through fasting, he was able to bring his A1c down from 13.4 at diagnosis to 4.9, which is astounding!

Josh is someone that is very on top of his health and he imparts a lot of great knowledge in this episode. He also delves quite a bit into his mindset around his new diagnosis. I hope you enjoy this very heartfelt and inspirational story!
