Type 1 Diabetes, Endurance Sports, and JDRF’s Fight for a Cure

Show notes

Even the strongest athletes need a game plan. This week, we dive into the world of endurance sports and type 1 diabetes with Dr. Anne Marie MacDonald, a marathon runner and Ironman triathlete who's been navigating the condition for over 35 years. From nutrition to insulin management, she shares how she juggles the demands of high-intensity training while managing her health. Plus, we explore the latest research on diabetes treatments that could reshape the future. In the wrap up Jer tackles a shocking medical story about an 84-year-old doctor, a botched colonoscopy, and how a simple failure to wear hearing aids spiraled into a disastrous outcome for the patient.
