#248: He Woke Up Feeling Human Again
Episode description
In this episode, Dr. Mark talks with Mike, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 12 while living in a children’s home. With a family history of T1D—including four siblings who were also diagnosed—Mike learned early how to follow the rules. But decades later, burnout, unrecognized lows, and emotional exhaustion caught up with him.
In this honest and eye-opening conversation, Mike shares the turning point that changed everything: discovering Loop. He explains how automated insulin delivery gave him back his sleep, his mental clarity, and his family life—and why he’s now helping others do the same.
If you’ve ever struggled with T1D burnout, hypoglycemia unawareness, or just feeling overwhelmed by tech, Mike’s story will resonate.
