Team Effort Makes A New Man
Charleston man gains control of his health with help from SBL Care Coordination team.
Todd Bowlin looks forward to each day with newfound energy.“ I feel like a new man,” he said.
Todd and his wife, Lydia, credit the care coordination team at Sarah Bush Lincoln for helping them navigate the healthcare system to get a Medtronic insulin pump in place to control Todd’ s diabetes.“ The team we had behind us was amazing. I actually feel like getting up and doing things now. They gave me my life back,” he said.
Todd’ s quality of life had been dwindling since he was diagnosed with diabetes 10 years ago. Doctors first treated him for type 2 diabetes since he was an adult at onset, but when prescribed medication stopped working, doctors determined that Todd was a‘ late bloomer’ with type 1 diabetes( once known as juvenile diabetes).
