A diabetes diagnosis was not what Jason had in mind when he set out on a cross-country road trip with his family in the fall of 2021.

“It kind of came out of nowhere,” said Jason, who asked to keep his last name private. All of a sudden, he had to get up to pee five times in a night. Just a few weeks after his trip, he was having a hard time walking around the block.
