A year ago, my editor at this paper was nice enough to let me write about the five-year anniversary of one of my four sons being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
Writing about a devastating diagnosis was cathartic, and now I have a positive update.
Diabetes continues to be a daily struggle for my Tristan, now 20, and a constant worry for everyone close to him. But I'm now an executive producer of "Patient 13," the first documentary in production that will take an in-depth look at Type 1 diabetes, which prevents patients from producing insulin, and efforts to find a cure.
