Beta Cell

Roz has been living with type 1 diabetes for over 23 years and has been training as a powerlifter with her coach Steve for the last six. Since that first session together, Steve has learned a lot more about diabetes than just what to do when Roz is low and he uses that knowledge to not only be a better coach for Roz, but to be more empathetic towards all of his clients.

Carol had all the responsibilities that a 13 month old brings when her daughter Kristi was diagnosed with type 1. She had to balance the management of Kristi's diabetes with letting her grow up feeling like a normal kid. 26 years after that diagnosis, Kristi interviewed her mom about how type 1 changed her life too.
