On Type 1 Diabetes with Guest Charlie and Ray Davidson
In today's episode, we are privileged to have special guests Charlie and Ray. Charlie, who has been managing Type 1 Diabetes since the third grade, sheds light on the intricacies of this condition, wherein the pancreas fails to produce insulin – a vital hormone that facilitates the entry of blood sugar into cells for energy utilization. Charlie's journey began with symptoms such as excessive thirst, heightened appetite, and fatigue, ultimately leading to a diagnosis.
During the discussion, Charlie and Ray candidly share their wealth of experiences related to Type 1 Diabetes, delving into its presentation, the complexities involved, the nuances of managing 'highs and lows,' and addressing the common assumptions associated with this autoimmune disease.
