T1Determined Joseph Anthony Marcello

Today, we delve into my personal diagnosis events with Type-1 Diabetes. While future episodes will be conversational-based, I see this first episode as a chance for you, the audience, to get to know me as a host.
In a story-based format, we dive into my life leading up to my diabetic-ketoacidosis hospitalization. In July 2019, at the new age of 21, I lost more than 20lbs in less than three weeks ultimately discovering that I am a Type-1 Diabetic.
Being an avid hiker, and goal-oriented toward mountain objectives, my doctors told me it could be a full year before attempting any major excursion in the mountains. Less than three months after my diagnosis, I was standing on the highest summit in the Rocky Mountain Range.
These events implemented the mindset I'd take with me during my lifestyle change. Years later, this mindset has helped me create the concept of T1Determined.
Whether you are a T1D or not, I hope you can take something useful from this story. Please enjoy Episode 01 - The Origin Story of The T1Determined Podcast.
