The insuleoin Podcast - Redefining Diabetes

Don Muchow has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for more than 50 years (@t1determined).

But his story isn’t just about Diabetes.

At 42 years old, Don was overweight, struggling with his health, and already experiencing serious Diabetic complications before making a decision that completely changed the direction of his life.

What started with exercise and small lifestyle changes eventually led to Ironman races, ultra-marathons, marathon swims, 200-mile cycling events, and even becoming the first and only known person with Type 1 Diabetes to run from Disneyland to Walt Disney World… covering 2,845 miles across America.
In this episode, we talk about:

Living with Type 1 Diabetes for over five decades.
Overcoming complications later in life.
Endurance training and blood sugar management.
Fear around exercise and hypos.
Aging with Type 1 Diabetes.
Mindset, resilience, and consistency.
What’s actually possible with Diabetes long term.

This is an incredibly honest, motivating, and practical conversation for anyone living with Type 1 Diabetes, especially those who feel like it may be “too late” to change their health.
