Abstract
My life as I had known it would become what the physician and historian Chris Feudtner termed, transmuted . He argued, diabetes as a disease concept had transmuted , changing over time by society’s interference in its natural progression. And so began my transmutation, as I reflect upon my life, the life of a young man as a diabetic whose natural progression was altered less by the disease and more by society’s attempts to define and control it.
