Philosophically, Type 1 diabetes forces a profound shift in how we view the act of eating. For most, eating is an intuitive, life-sustaining pleasure.

This constant surveillance of the self challenges the ancient, natural relationship between hunger, satisfaction, and bodily growth, turning survival into an act of deliberate, daily engineering.
