My Journey
Why 'The Diabetic Journeyman'?
​
The name reflects two major parts of my life: living with Type 1 Diabetes for over 31 years, and working as a journeyman millwright. I realized I could bring those two paths together, sharing what I’ve learned in hopes of helping others on their journey. ​
​For anyone unfamiliar, a journeyman[mentor] is someone who’s skilled and experienced in a trade, fully qualified and able to work independently. In a way, that’s how I see my role in the diabetes community too: someone who’s been through it, still learning, and here to support others.
​​​I was diagnosed with Type 1 at just 4 years old, but that never stopped me from doing the things I loved—playing baseball, competitive dancing, becoming a millwright, and staying active outdoors.
As I got older I realized that low blood sugar treatments really hadn’t changed in decades. With all the camping, hiking, road trips and constantly being on the go maple syrup quickly became my go-to fix. After realizing how effective it was and figuring out how to portion it just right, I knew I had to share it with others
Mission
To empower fellow diabetics in managing their low blood sugar by providing effective, simple, delicious, and healthy treatment options.
