#246: Living with T1D in a War Zone: Lessons in Resilience

In this episode, Dr. Mark talks with Sasha, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just weeks before war broke out in Ukraine. Suddenly, Sasha faced not only a new diagnosis but also the terrifying reality of managing her health in a country at war.

Sasha shares how she adapted to shortages of supplies, how she stayed connected to her values even when fear was high, and the unexpected ways living in a war zone changed how she sees diabetes and life itself.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re waiting for things to be "perfect" before you start living fully with T1D, Sasha’s story will leave a lasting impression.
