What does managing type 1 diabetes look like at 200 km/h? Chase Pelletier started karting at ten and received his diabetes diagnosis about a month later. Now a championship winner and race engineer, he joins the guys to unpack the physical demands of racing, the preparation that happens before he ever straps in, and why his mechanic can follow his blood sugar from the pit wall. Chase shares how technology has changed his confidence behind the wheel. He also gets into the sponsorship costs that forced him to step away from driving, the engineering career that brought him into Formula One, and the joy of returning to racing after twelve years away.
