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.

We'd love to have you onboard!

As someone who has been living with type one diabetes since the age of 7, I understand the challenges and triumphs of managing this condition. My Hemoglobin A1C has consistently been in a remarkably healthy range over the years, ranging from 5.7 to 5.4. In fact, my most recent A1C reading was 5.4, taken two months ago. Through this podcast, I aim to inspire and empower everyone touched by diabetes, showing them that it's possible to lead a limitless life while staying healthy.

Tune in every week for a new episode. In today's episode, we have the incredible Gary Fobes joining us. Gary was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 19 and went on to play college basketball for the University of Massachusetts. He was even named the player of the year for the A-10 league in 2008. Gary's professional career included playing for the Denver Nuggets, Toronto Raptors, and Brooklyn Nets. He played for the Saigon Heat four years ago and is currently retired. In our conversation, Gary will share his journey as a healthy and active diabetic basketball player. We'll also be answering questions from our listeners.

Speaking of which, we have some questions from Valentino, a 12-year-old type one diabetic. Valentino is curious about how diabetes will affect his life in college, particularly while living in a dorm on campus. He dreams of playing professional basketball but worries about managing his blood sugar during games. He also wonders if he'll be able to live independently as an adult and pursue his dreams, including a stint in New York after college.

3. Finally, have a support system in place. Don't live your life with diabetes alone. Educate your friends and family on how to support you. It also helps to get a diabetes educator in your

Kevin’s tips: 

Diabetes is a condition that affects the whole human being: 1) mentally, 2) physically, 3) spiritually, 4) socially, etc. In his experience, thriving with Diabetes requires being intentional about educating, caring and continuously improving one’s health. Working at it requires a decisive commitment at some point. Make it your priority. Learn as you go. Ask for help. Make necessary changes. Work on one thing at a time, if necessary.

I hope these tips are helpful
