Episode 308 - Perfection is a Myth, with guest Stephanie Ratcliffe (Doing Well with Diabetes)
Doing Well with Diabetes is a podcast series collaboration between the
International Diabetes Federation and the Diabetics Doing Things podcast.
During this series, host Rob Howe interviews athletes living with diabetes
from around the globe to help inspire the next generation of athletes with
diabetes to continue to work towards their dreams while doing well with
diabetes.
Doing Well with Diabetes is part of the Kids and Diabetes in Schools
programme. Diabetics Doing Things has donated all production and promotion
in-kind.
In this episode of Doing Well with Diabetes, host Rob Howe interviews
Stephanie Ratcliffe, an Olympic hammer thrower living with type 1 diabetes
who was recently part of Australia’s 2024 Olympic Team. Stephanie shares
her journey of managing diabetes while excelling in athletics and
academics, including her experiences at the University of Georgia and
Harvard University.
Stephanie and Rob discuss the unrealistic expectation of maintaining
perfect blood sugar levels for people with type 1 diabetes. They highlight
the dangers of striving for perfection, likening it to general life
pressures that can bring about stress and negativity. They emphasize the
importance of managing diabetes to the best of one’s ability without
demanding perfection.
Stephanie also discusses the challenges and strategies for managing
diabetes in high-pressure situations, the importance of a positive mindset,
and her hopes of inspiring the next generation of athletes with diabetes.
The episode highlights Stephanie growth in embracing her diabetes identity
and connecting with the type 1 community.
