#153: The Friendship Of A Diabetic & A Civilian - Dylan & Jake

The Healthy Diabetic

What if you could be the master of your own health, even with a condition as complex as diabetes? I had a powerful conversation with Dylan and Jake, two inspiring individuals involved with Camp Hamwi, a special place dedicated to empowering children and teenagers living with diabetes. This incredible episode takes you on an enlightening journey of resilience and determination as Dylan, a T1D since he was two years old, shares his transformation from a camper to a camp leader and how this unique environment shaped his approach to managing his condition.
Jake, who doesn't have diabetes, gives a unique perspective on understanding and managing the disease. Drawn to Camp Hamwi by his friendship with Dylan, Jake shares his personal learning curve in understanding diabetes and the importance of support networks. His experience serves as a reminder that empathy and understanding can go a long way in supporting those living with any type of health condition.
This episode is a testament to the power of community and support systems in overcoming health challenges. This is not just a conversation about diabetes; it's a discussion about resilience, friendship, and empowerment.
You will not want to miss it.
