They told us we wouldn’t live this long. Specifically, almost 54 years ago, when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, they told me my life would likely be 15 years shorter. Of course who’s to know how long anyone will live, but today lots of people with T1D are living long lives, even longer than those without type 1 diabetes because we tend to take care of ourselves.

Recently, Ginger Vieira who has now expanded her Diabetes Nerd podcasts into Diabetes Nerd Network, paid me the honor of having me on her podcast which was released today and that’s part of what we talked about. The rest is just two T1Ds who’ve known each other a long time, and know a hell of a lot, hanging out. Hope you enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI9PcBrym-w
