Type 1 Diabetes,The Juice IS Worth the Squeeze: Episode 5, Discovery & Diagnosis
Love to hear your feedback, text us!
Episode #5 of the podcast -- “The Juice IS Worth the Squeeze. Embrace It: 56+ Years as a Type 1 Diabetic, and Still Counting”, lays out some of the uncommon medical facts that preceded my diagnosis as Type 1 in Fall, 1968. At the end of the prior podcast #4, I recounted the events of a “violent and fateful night” in Summer, 1968, that triggered the physical changes leading to my T1D diagnosis 3 months later. In some ways, the origins of my condition were almost as unlikely as the lifetime I’ve experienced. More on this in later podcasts.
The physical injuries I suffered one night in June of that year, resulted in trauma with lifelong consequences. However, the consequences were not all bad outcomes, either health-wise, personally or professionally. To the contrary, the consequences led to lifetime opportunities and events I could never have imagined when I experienced a truly unexpected “life quake” in Fall, 1968. Stay tuned for more details in future podcasts on my life as a Type 1 diabetic for 56+ years, and still counting.
