Welcome to Diabetic Loving, a podcast dedicated to empowering and supporting individuals living with diabetes. I'm your host, Safiyah Basir, and I've been a type one diabetic since the age of 7. As the American Diabetes Ambassador and an Executive leader for the Tour De Cure, I invite you to join our Diabetic Loving, Healthy Living Team by clicking the link below.

Living with diabetes doesn't mean compromising your health. My Hemoglobin A1C has consistently remained within a remarkably healthy range, ranging from 5.7 to 5.4 over the past four years. In fact, my most recent A1C reading is 5.4, taken just two months ago. With this podcast, I aim to inspire and show everyone affected by diabetes that it's possible to lead a vibrant, boundless life while effectively managing the condition. Please also consult with your medical team for medical advice.

Tune in every week for a new episode, and today we have a special guest, Kelly Glad. Kelly is a registered nurse and a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. With a background in Nursing Education and Emergency Medical Services, Kelly's expertise in diabetes care is exceptional. Known as Educator Gladiator on Instagram, Kelly's father's own experience with diabetes has driven him to help the diabetic community achieve mental and physical well-being.
