Hello everyone and welcome back to the DYA Network..Network Nation. I am excited about today’s show because it is an example of why I wanted to start this Podcast-to bring information not just on training but on the overall wellness of the young athlete. Our guest today has been specializing in intensive insulin therapy and advanced education for children and adults for decades. He has been a Certified Diabetes Educator for 22 years and has had Type-1 diabetes for 33years. In 2014 he was named Diabetes Educator of the Year by the American Association of Diabetes Educators. He has written six books, including the best-selling “Think Like A Pancreas-A Practical Guide to Managing Diabetes With Insulin.” He lectures nationally and internationally for people with diabetes as well as professionals in the healthcare industry. In addition to serving on the faculty of Children With Diabetes and the Board of Directors for JDRF, he volunteers for the American Diabetes Association, Diabetes Sisters, and Setebaid Diabetes Camps. He has been happily married for 27 years and has four wonderful kids. A self-described fitness fanatic, he enjoys playing basketball, running, cycling and cheering on his Philadelphia sports teams.
