In this episode I talk to type 1 diabetic and professional race car driver Jack Perkins from Australia.
Jack was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at a period in his life where he was setting himself up for a professional career in race car driving. Jack’s diagnosis with type 1 diabetes didn’t deter Jack from racing but rather, Jack demonstrated a successful racing career is possible with type 1 diabetes.
In the episode we discuss Jack’s diagnosis story, his racing career and how Jack manages his diabetes whilst racing and generally. We also discuss how Jack kept his diabetes hidden for a period of time after diagnosis and how he convinced the racing organization to allow a type 1 diabetic to race.
