Michael Living with Type 1 Diabetes

This is a sensitive topic for sure, my brother bravely walks us through his childhood all the way to present starting with his diagnosis with type 1 diabetes at the age of 7. Michael conveys his experience, and discusses things you may not know about the daily life of managing diabetes, especially how manual life is. The goal of the podcast is to explain what Diabetes is, the daily life of living with it, reflecting on it after living with it for 23 years, and on the difficult conditions caused by diabetes, and its certainly not by choice especially type 1, and also give hope to those who unfortunately suffer from this condition.

I can't express how proud I am of my brother, Michael. This is such a difficult experience to discuss it in detail and length is brave and encouraging. For those living with these conditions or have family members who suffer or has suffered, we truly empathize.
