Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In today's episode, I sit down with Ali Dugger. Ali is a T1D who was diagnosed at 18. She came from a family that had to learn about Diabetes earlier, as her brother is also Type 1. The cool thing about Ali's story is that her mom knew that no one would educate them, so she took it upon herself to go back to school, get her master's, and become a Diabetes Educator. But that didn't entirely help Ali as she rebelled against Diabetes at the early stages of her journey. So later on in life, she experienced Diabetes complications. This story is powerful because, despite her complications, she now lives a great life and has a positive outlook for the rest of her life. You might not be able to say this about many others who have experienced complications like she did. Ali Dugger's InstagramAli Dugger's FacebookCoach Ken's Resources:Website: www.simplifyingdiabetes.comNewsletter Sign Up"More Than A1C" - My Signature Coaching ProgramThe Diabetes Nutrition Master CourseThe 5-Pillars Of Diabetes Success WorksheetSet Up a Free Call...Apparel StoreSupport & Donate To The PodcastThe T1D Exchange Registry is a research study, conducted over time, for individuals with type 1 diabetes and their supporters.

Born in France, Jon moved to the UK 15 years ago. For 29 years, he lived without considering what he ate or drank and how it would impact his daily life. Then, in 2015, he was hit with an unknown condition to him, Type 1 Diabetes LADA. From day one, he told myself: "You cannot change it, so embrace it." From there, he decided to pursue the things he wanted to do and live life without restrictions. Marathon and Ultra Marathon swimming (10K+) became his passion. Jon and I talk in-depth about his time in the water and how he manages this complex condition during such a long and gruesome race. This is another example of how Diabetes should never get in your way of living your best life! Jon's Resources:His Diabetes and fitness Journey on StravaInstagramLinkedinCoach Ken's Resources:Website: www.simplifyingdiabetes.comNewsletter Sign Up"More Than A1C" - My Signature Coaching ProgramThe Diabetes Nutrition Master CourseThe 5-Pillars Of Diabetes Success WorksheetSet Up a Free Call...Apparel StoreSupport & Donate To The PodcastThe T1D Exchange Registry is a research study, conducted over time, for individuals with type 1 diabetes and their supporters.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In today's episode, I sit down with Leontine, a T1D of 30 years from the Netherlands. Leontine's diagnosis is another example of a broken system and how we aren't being seen, heard, or listened too. We discussed her Diabetes challenges, being diagnosed at 20 years old and starting her modeling career, and how she was able to overcome the obstacles in her life. For all of you ladies, we also talked about her symptoms and challenges going through menopause and the lack of support and fundamental understanding there is out there.Leontine's Instagram:Coach Ken's Resources:Website: www.simplifyingdiabetes.comNewsletter Sign Up"More Than A1C" - My Signature Coaching ProgramThe Diabetes Nutrition Master CourseThe 5-Pillars Of Diabetes Success WorksheetSet Up a Free Call...Apparel StoreSupport & Donate To The PodcastThe T1D Exchange Registry is a research study, conducted over time, for individuals with type 1 diabetes and their supporters.
