  • Educational && Funny

    This is one of those podcasts that is both educational && funny. Not to mention the natural rapport for the Rob and Eritrea is so natural, humorous && easy! It’s just like two friends hanging out who just happen to have diabetes. A great podcast no matter where you’re at in your diabetes journey-newly diagnosed or 25 years in.

    The ADA Guidelines dropped using the pejorative “diabetic” from the Standards of Care in 2016 and recommenced using the description “patients with Diabetes”. Kindly consider following their guidance. Many thanks.

    I listened to Rob at the typeone summit in St. Paul last weekend. All should be pleased that Rob is in our corner, not just because he’s a big dude, but he has a great presence and has dedicated his time to helping others. Secret to success, want to help your outlook? Help someone! So glad big Rob is in our corner, go get ‘em Rob!
