Diabetic Loving!I'm Safiyah Basir, and I've been living with type one diabetes since I was just seven years old. As the American Diabetes Ambassador and an Executive Leader for the Tour De Cure, which took place on June 10th, 2023, I am thrilled to bring you this heartfelt podcast.Imagine, my Hemoglobin A1C has consistently remained in an astonishingly healthy range for several years, ranging between 5.7-5.4. Recently, my A1C clocked in at a solid 5.7. It is my mission to show all those affected by diabetes that you can lead a vibrant, boundless life while staying healthy. Each week, a brand new episode will be waiting for you each week, brimming with captivating stories and valuable insights.Diabetes is a multi-faceted journey, and today, we have the privilege of speaking with a truly remarkable individual, none other than Jalen King. Our paths crossed five years ago, around the time I discovered I was pregnant with my twin boys. Jalen has been living with diabetes since the tender age of eight and is currently undergoing dialysis. Together, Jalen and I will dive deep into his personal journey, as he shares his incredible wisdom and advice for all those touched by diabetes. Let's remember, though, that our discussions are based on personal experiences and opinions, and we always encourage consulting your healthcare team for medical advice.To make this podcast truly interactive and engaging, we invite you, our cherished listeners and viewers, to send in your questions and episode suggestions to [email protected].
