    Have you ever wondered what it's like for a young boy to be diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and trying to manage it while living a normal childhood life? In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Leiland and his mother, Leigha. Leiland's story of courage and resilience is truly inspiring. We discuss how he communicates his symptoms to his mother and the importance of having open lines of communication between a young diabetic and their caregiver. We also delve into Leigha's early challenges in figuring out what works best for Leiland.

  • #155: Bonus Episode - The Camp Hamwi Series (Part 3) - Cayden & Grayson

    I've had the pleasure of meeting many inspiring athletes in my role as a coach. However, my conversation with Cayden and Grayson, two young soccer enthusiasts who live with Type 1 diabetes, truly stood out to me. Their journey has been full of obstacles, but they've achieved many triumphs along the way. Their resilience and determination are a testament to those who navigate life with diabetes. Their stories of managing diabetes among the demands of soccer serve as an inspiration for all of us, whether we're diabetic or not.

    Cayden's diagnosis surprisingly came just before a pivotal soccer tournament. But his spirit remained unscathed as he took control of his disease from day one. Grayson, whose father also has diabetes, shared his symptoms, hospital journey, and recovery, offering an insightful peek into his life post-diagnosis. You'll also hear how these two soccer enthusiasts have adapted their routines and diet to maintain their performance on the field. Their heartwarming friendship and unwavering resilience underline the power of community in managing a condition like diabetes.

  • #153: The Friendship Of A Diabetic & A Civilian - Dylan & Jake

    What if you could be the master of your own health, even with a condition as complex as diabetes? I had a powerful conversation with Dylan and Jake, two inspiring individuals involved with Camp Hamwi, a special place dedicated to empowering children and teenagers living with diabetes. This incredible episode takes you on an enlightening journey of resilience and determination as Dylan, a T1D since he was two years old, shares his transformation from a camper to a camp leader and how this unique environment shaped his approach to managing his condition.

    Jake, who doesn't have diabetes, gives a unique perspective on understanding and managing the disease. Drawn to Camp Hamwi by his friendship with Dylan, Jake shares his personal learning curve in understanding diabetes and the importance of support networks. His experience serves as a reminder that empathy and understanding can go a long way in supporting those living with any type of health condition.

    This episode is a testament to the power of community and support systems in overcoming health challenges. This is not just a conversation about diabetes; it's a discussion about resilience, friendship, and empowerment.
