- I have a question about this episode #69 Karalyn's Journey with Diabetes and this Diabetes Diagnosis Dynamics. Hey Gary, I've been a follower of yours for a long time. I love your content and the message you're sending out to the world. I wanted to ask: I am a type 1 diabetic; I became diabetic just before my 18th birthday. I have always been a healthy and athletic man, and now more than ever. You speak a lot about type 2 diabetes but never really about type 1. I am curious if you know anything that the masses may not about this condition. I never truly understood why I became diabetic, and neither did the doctors. I know the general explanation of why and how it happens, but there has never been a root cause explanation. I am 22 now and doing great living as a diabetic with excellent sugar and A1C levels, but I'm always interested to know and learn more. Thanks for all you are doing in the world for healthy living.
