Who am I? What am I doing here?

What’s so maddening about the T1D world is that it’s one of the most highly complex diseases, involving an enormously intertwined series of hormones that regulate glucose levels, and yet, people have to manage it entirely on their own. And that’s where my focus lies: I communicate highly complex information about this complex disease in ways that reach a generally wide audience.

Most things are greatly oversimplified, whether it’s diets, insulin pumps, drugs, nutrition, and more. My goal is to help tease through all the stuff that’s commonly seen, while also bringing attention to research that doesn’t get the exposure it should.

My articles may talk about technical detail that may, for some, seem too dense, but I always step back and restate things in plain English.
