Show Notes
The Fox TV show "The Resident" takes on type 1 diabetes and gets it right! This week's episode "The Prince and the Pauper" features two plot lines about diabetes. Stacey speaks with the co-executive producer Andrew Chapman on why this issue and why now.
Chapman lives with LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults) also known as type 1.5. He tells Stacey there are two other people with diabetes on the writing staff.
See Chapman's play 99 Tropes in Seattle later this year!
