Welcome to Diabetic Loving!

šŸŽ™ļøāœØ Hi everyone! I'm Safiyah Basir, back from a short podcast hiatus and thrilled to reconnect with you all! Living with type 1 diabetes since I was 7, I bring my experiences as an American Diabetes Ambassador and an Executive Leader for the Tour De Cure, happening this Saturday, June 8th, 2024 šŸš“ā€ā™€ļøā¤ļø. I’m excited to announce that I’ll be singing the anthem to kick off three of the rides, and I’d love for you to join the Diabetic Loving, Healthy Living Team. You can find the link to join below—we’d be delighted to have you on board!

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. I started this podcast to show everyone affected by diabetes that it’s entirely possible to live a healthy, vibrant, and boundless life with this condition. While I’m in school to become a physician's assistant specializing in endocrinology, I’ll be releasing new episodes periodically.

Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Jason Robinson, the author of "The Beginner Traveler's Guide to Going Nomad" and a type 1 diabetic who received his diagnosis as an adult šŸŒšŸ“š. We’ll dive into his journey to becoming a nomad, his experience managing diabetes, and how the diabetic community has influenced his life.

Stay tuned and join us for an inspiring conversation! šŸŽ§šŸ’¬

Kelly has a Master of Science - in Nursing Education, a Bachelor of Science - in Emergency Medical Services and Administration is a Registered Nurse and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. Here are Kelly’s tips

Here are my tips: 1. Always remember to look out for number one which is yourself. You can't take care of others until you take care of yourself first.

  1. Work with your care team when it comes to managing diabetes. You can't afford "bad advice" and it is dangerous to change your regimen without consulting your care team.

  2. 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 yourcorner!

Today we have some great tips from Kevin Caldwell, KevinT1D on Instagram

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

Hello to all of my Diabetic Loving Family & Friends,

Welcome to Episode, 1 of Season 2!

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 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.
