If you have type 1, know someone with type 1, or just want to learn more about this incurable condition, this podcast is for you.
I'm Colleen Mitchell, a life coach, author, and engineer. I've had type 1 diabetes for over 26 years and am a major advocate for educating others about this disease. I'm not shy about talking about how it's affected my life and what I hope for in the future.
