Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

What does it look like to fully own your story with Type 1 diabetes and stop letting the condition define you? In this episode, I sit down with Rob Howe—former professional basketball player, creator of Diabetics Doing Things, and passionate advocate for the T1D community. Rob shares how sports shaped his relationship with diabetes, why storytelling matters in this space, and what it takes to break free from shame, comparison, and limiting beliefs. This is a powerful conversation about redefining what’s possible while living with T1D.

Key Takeaways

  • Your story matters — Why sharing your journey helps both you and the T1D community.
  • Shame doesn’t belong here — How to stop letting diabetes define your self-worth.
  • Beyond the numbers — A1C isn’t everything—focus on real life, not perfection.
  • Lessons from sports — How discipline, resilience, and community carry over from the court into daily diabetes life.
  • Building community — Why connection and storytelling create hope and belonging.
