I may have mentioned type 1 diabetes a couple of times before.

It's also known as juvenile onset diabetes.

My dad has been diagnosed with it all of his adult life, so that would be all of my life.

I grew up understanding a bit about insulin and blood sugar tests, all that kind of stuff

that diabetes have to do.

It's remarkable how much things have changed and improved in the past couple of decades.

There's still no cure for the disease, but it's now much more manageable thanks to advancements

in medicine and technology.

This is something that used to really affect my dad's life when I was growing up, and

of course, lots and lots of other people out there as well.

It still affects people's lives, of course, but now, as I said, in a much more manageable

way.

This brings us to today's story.

Wanting to help a family member diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, this serial side hustler

invents a sticky solution to a pressing problem.

He's not bringing in tens of thousands of dollars a month from it.

That story's coming up in a moment, and I also want to give a shout out to my good friend

Im Capito, who is speaking at TEDx Salt Lake City this weekend.

If you're in Salt Lake City, go check it out.

If not, the talk will be up online at some point.

She is also a therapist, yoga teacher, blogger, and more, and she happens to have type 1 diabetes

as well.
