Description

Managing type 1 when your job means you burn more than 5-thousand calories and lose 10 pounds of water in one day is.. a little different. I caught up with IndyCar driver Conor Daly who is in the middle of the season right now! Diagnosed at 14, Conor talked to me about continuing to chase his dreams of racing, using inhaled insulin – Afrezza – as part of his T1D management for a long time now, how he deals with diabetes during races, and a lot more.
