On this episode we talk to Jeff Hitchcock who founded Children with Diabetes  after his two year old daughter was diagnosed with type one diabetes. Jeff and his wife have dedicated their lives to serving and connecting people with diabetes and we are the better for it! Jeff makes a great baseball analogy about living with diabetes when he says "You can never leave the field, but you can't quit." I hope you enjoy our conversation!
