Hello everyone and welcome to Diabetic Loving!My name is Safiyah Basir, I have been type one diabetic since the age of 7. I come to you as the American Diabetes Association Ambassador and an Executive leader for the Tour De Cure that’s happening June 10th of 2023. I’ll have a link to join the Diabetic Loving, Healthy Living Team below. I’dlove to have you on the team!My Hemoglobin A1C has been consistently within an incredibly healthy range for several years and within the past four years between 5.7-5.4. My most recent A1C is 5.4 which was taken Very recently. I’ve started this podcast to show all who are touched by diabetes that you can have and live a healthy, full, limitless life with diabetes. I want to also remind everyone listening that these are opinions and not medical advice. I'll have a new episode each week. Today we have some amazing tips from Kelly Glad, https://www.instagram.com/educatorgladiator/ on Instagram. 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 yourcorner! I hope these tips are helpfulTo 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 [email protected] Diabetic Loving Instagram Linkhttps://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.Kelly Glad Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/educatorgladiator/ TOUR DE CURE.
