Hello everyone and welcome to episode 244 of the Juice Box Podcast.

Today's episode was going to be called a number of different things.

I almost called it Jelly Babies.

There was a moment when I really considered making it Kiwi in Australia.

And for a hot second I thought this episode is definitely going to be called Sensitive Wii Soul. I was so close to Sensitive

We Soul when I decided to name it instead, Bushwacking with Justin. I greatly look forward to all of you complaining to me later that the titles have nothing to do with the episodes.

currently living with my family in Australia.

I've been a diabetic since 2011, a late starter.

How old are you now? I am 41. Not too late. I've heard later but that's definitely was probably a surprise I would imagine.

Oh very much a surprise, yes, very much a surprise. Any background in your family at all or anything?

I think I've got a couple of family members that are diabetics but it's never been you know it's always we

think they were but we don't really know what type of diabetes they had and my

mom's got a couple of autoimmune conditions as well, so.

That's very common.
