**We are really excited about today’s interview with John Stirrat, who has had type 1 diabetes since age 8.  John plays bass in an excellent band called Hail the Sun, which is labelled on Wikipedia “as a post-hardcore band using elements of screamo, progressive rock, and math rock in its music.” They are amazing musicians, with live shows that are one of a kind. Their success have really blossomed over the last 10 years, as they now have 5 albums, 2 EP’s and close to 300,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. We were curious to talk to John about what it is like to have type 1 diabetes on tour, how he manages his performances, and hear what it is like to be a rock and roller taking insulin!
