I’m proud to share that my Hemoglobin A1C levels have been in a remarkably healthy range for several years, consistently between 5.5 and 5.8 🌟. My latest A1C, taken a few months ago, was 5.8.

Hello everyone and welcome to Diabetic Loving!

My Hemoglobin A1C has been consistently within an incredibly healthy range for several years and within the past four years between 5.7-5.4. My most recent A1C is 5.4 which was taken Very recently. I’ve started this podcast to show all who are touched by diabetes that you can have and live a healthy, full, limitless life with diabetes. I want to also remind everyone listening that these are opinions and not medical advice. I'll have a new episode each week. Today we have some amazing tips from Gary Forbes. Gary was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 19. Gary played college basketball for the University of Massachusetts, named player of the year for the A-10 league in 2008, Gary has played for the Denver Nuggets, Toronto Raptors, and Brooklyn Nets. He played for the Saigon Heat four years ago and is currently retired. Today We’re speaking with Gary about his journey in life as a healthy, incredibly active diabetic basketball player.

1. Research your body and keep track of your blood sugars. How it reacts to your medicine and the foods that you're eating.

Keeping a 30 day journal is what Gary's father used to do to track his levels.

2. Being optimistic is and has been and can be helpful to maintain and manage your diabetic life.
