Summary
Brent shares his 20-year journey as a person with Type 1 diabetes, a husband and father to three young children. After 15 years of manual daily injections and multiple daily finger sticks, Brent switched to a T1D physician in 2015 which has made all the difference in his daily management and overall health. He now uses a continuous glucose monitor and insulin pump and talks about the success he's had using technology for the past five years. Brent offers a laid-back personal perspective on why it's so important to take care of yourself and practice patience when living with T1D.
