Hey everyone! I just had an incredible interview with Fox 2 News for the second year in a row where I shared my inspiring journey living with Type 1 diabetes since I was 7 years old. As the American Diabetes Ambassador and Executive Leader for the Tour de Cure, I'm on a mission to promote healthy living and empower others in their diabetic journeys.During the interview, I talked about the potential dangers of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, stressing the importance of monitoring, eating well, and staying active. It's crucial to take care of our insulin, mental health, and physical well-being.Losing my grandmother to Type 1 diabetes at 29 and witnessing my father's battle with Type 2 diabetes inspired me to spread awareness and bring hope to those living with diabetes. With my A1C at 5.7, I'm proof that meticulous care can help us live vibrant lives despite the condition.I shared heartfelt personal stories and emphasized that with proper management and lifestyle choices, we can have a lifespan comparable to those without diabetes. I want to inspire others to face the daily challenges with determination, resilience, and hope.As the American Diabetes Ambassador, I'm dedicated to making a difference in the diabetes community. Through the Tour de Cure, I lead initiatives to raise funds for research, support vital programs, and bring together individuals affected by diabetes.Let's remember that diabetes doesn't define us but gives us the opportunity to embrace a healthy lifestyle and live life to the fullest. I'm here to inspire and encourage others to take control of their diabetes and create a future filled with hope, vitality, and well-being. Together, we can make a difference!

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. 2. 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. 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 corner!    I hope these tips are helpful To all who are listening or watching I'd like to have a truly engaged podcast so please email your questions and episode suggestions to me at ⁠⁠diabeticloving@gmail.com⁠⁠  Diabetic Loving Instagram Link ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/diabeticloving/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Please also remember to subscribe to our Diabetic Loving Instagram page, YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Podcast, and all of the streaming platforms.

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.
