The Power of Knowing – Why Early Screening for Type 1 Diabetes Matters Featuring Senior Football Insider and Sanofi Spokesperson Adam Schefter


Listen Later

What if you could learn about type 1 diabetes before symptoms even appear? In this powerful episode, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus sit down with Senior Football Insider and Sanofi Spokesperson Adam Schefter to talk about why early screening for T1D is a conversation every family should be having.

Adam shares his personal connection to type 1 diabetes through his wife’s experience and how it changed his outlook on health, preparation, and the role of care partners. Together, they break down the importance of understanding early-stage T1D, how screening works, and why early knowledge is more than just information—it’s peace of mind.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, a care partner, or simply looking to stay informed, this episode offers insight, support, and a meaningful call to action.

Key Topics:

  • Adam’s connection to T1D: How his wife’s diagnosis impacted their family and sparked his passion for awareness and advocacy.
  • Why early screening matters: The power of knowing about type 1 diabetes before symptoms begin—and how it can change everything.
  • Understanding early-stage T1D: What auto antibodies are, what they indicate, and how type 1 develops in stages.
  • Advice for care partners and families: Why loved ones should consider screening too, and how to start the conversation with a healthcare provider.
  • Awareness is everything: How misinformation and lack of understanding can delay diagnosis—and why it's time to change that.
  • Start the conversation: How to learn more about screening and what families can do today to stay one step ahead.
