Attitude is Everything: Life with Type 1 Diabetes S2E26
Joshua Tullis is 27 years old. He currently lives in Kennesaw, Georgia with his wife, Kayla, and his newborn son, Thompson. He and his wife love spending time with their son as he is progressing through noticeable newborn stages. Josh also spends time reading personal development books and running, specifically in races such as Tough Mudders and Spartan races. Every day he runs many miles around the neighborhood. He also thoroughly enjoys various approaches to weight training. In return, that usually increases appetite, therefore he loves trying new foods as well.
Josh was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 12 years old. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that attacks the pancreas which secretes insulin. Therefore, those with type 1 diabetes must manually administer insulin daily. These insulin doses are dependent upon the amount of carbs consumed, but it’s not that simple. The types of food, lifestyle, physical activity, and many more everyday tasks largely impact the quality and control of life with diabetes.
This is why Josh is passionate about helping other diabetics take control of their life through everyday disciplines. Josh is now building Soaring Diabetics, a brand devoted to helping and coaching people through the challenges of diabetes.
