Most of the dialogue about type 1 diabetes is between people who have it, but what about those close to us who are affected by T1D too, the endearingly nicknamed “Type 3s?” The 3s offers them the opportunity to join the conversation too through one-on-one interviews with the T1D in their life. Roz has been living with type 1 diabetes for over 23 years and has been training as a powerlifter with her coach Steve for the last six. Since that first session together, Steve has learned a lot more about diabetes than just what to do when Roz is low and he uses that knowledge to not only be a better coach for Roz, but to be more empathetic towards all of his clients.
