Loving Diabetic with Safiyah Basir

Hello to all of my Diabetic Loving Family & Friends,

Hello to all of my Diabetic Loving Family & Friends,

Hello to all of my Diabetic Loving Family & Friends,

I come back to you as the official American Diabetes Association Ambassador. Yay!

Today we have amazing tips from American Diabetes Association Associate Director of Development, Sara Carolin of Michigan, Minnesota and North Dakota. 

Sara’s Tips

"Ask your friends and family members how can I support you. How can I be there for you on your journey with this?

Letting the person living with and loving their diabetes that there is nothing to be ashamed of. Giving support is key.

Learning, and doing your own research about diabetes and recognizing the signs of highs and lows is incredibly important."

I absolutely love these tips and hope that you found them helpful.

Hello to all of my Diabetic Loving Family & Friends,

Welcome to Episode, 12. I had the pleasure of speaking with Brian Graves. Brian has recently transitioned to a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) life. We had the chance to speak about what helped him on the path to incorporating a CGM after traditionally glucose monitoring for the majority of his type one diabetic life. Brian is is incredibly open and allows us to have some really great nuggets in this episode. Below I have links to the Dexcom CGM to help you navigate that a bit further, @DiabeticLoving on Instagram so you can follow and my email [email protected] to send over your questions and feedback. 

Thank you for listening and/or viewing let me know your thoughts. :)

I got a lot of this info from living first hand as a person with a diabetic companion and https://www.everydayhealth.com/type-1-diabetes/stress-and-type-1-diabetes.aspx

I L❤️VE my Diabetes and am so proud of how far I’ve come, and how incredibly healthy my mental and physical being are.

❤️

I’m on a mission to help all who are involved in and touched by Diabetes in any way have a full and clear understanding that you have control over your Diabetes, and you can be an ally to the person in your life with Diabetes. You have the opportunity to live a healthy, love filled, mental and physical life so you can enjoy more moments in a healthy state.

❤️

I’ve done this for myself and have had an A1C from 5-6-5.9 for the past 5 years. Having a twin pregnancy with zero compilations during the pregnancy and birthing two incredibly healthy twin boys. 💙💙Being told by my Endocrinologist that I’m the healthiest patient she has ever worked with and she’s a Dr at the University of Michigan. This is available for you and the people in our life with Diabetes, too.

❤️

I’m working on putting together an amazing Diabetic Loving program/plan to help as many people as possible create and step into Loving Diabetes and living the healthiest life that they are deserving of.

If this is you leave “Love” in the comments to set up a Free 15 minute call with me, Safiyah.

Hello to all of my Diabetic Loves, and people loving someone with Diabetes!

Welcome to episode 8! This is part two of last month's Loving Friends, episode. I was asked by a few folks to have a continuation because the previous episode was a bit short. We were able to have an amazing Zoom call, and instead of me asking questions, I asked My Loving Friends to ask me anything they'd like to know. The video episode is available on Instagram, and the link is below. I thought it was important to show that we, as diabetics have people, our friends who love and care so much about us. If you're able and willing to and open about Diabetes, we should give them as much information as possible about our diabetic companion.
