I think you're really going to love this episode because Stephanie was diagnosed in her 50s

but most of the conversation sort of revolves around more of the emotion of type 1 diabetes

living with it and and being diagnosed. So if you're ever

looking at your children or a loved one and wondering what it feels like, this is a great opportunity

to hear more about what it's like to be diagnosed with type one have it the emotional parts of it from a from a fully formed

Thoughtful adult and so maybe this will give you a little insight. I know it did for me.

Stephanie is fantastic and I really want to thank her for coming on.

Nothing you hear on the Juice Box podcast let me remind you, nothing at all,

should be considered advice, medical or otherwise and you should

always consult a physician before making changes to your medical plan.

Okay let's get to Stephanie she's got a lot to say. My name is Stephanie Aigavale, and how I'd like to start off this conversation at a high level is by saying

I'm one tough person who gets up every day and gets in the ring and works hard to manage my type 1 diabetes.

And it's not easy, it's a complex challenging disease.

And by having this conversation, what I hope to do is perhaps inspire others that are also living with type 1 diabetes.
