Diabetic Loving with Safiyah Basir Safiyah Basir

Welcome to Diabetic Loving!


🎙️✨ Hi everyone! I'm Safiyah Basir, back from a short podcast hiatus and thrilled to reconnect with you all! Living with type 1 diabetes since I was 7, I bring my experiences as an American Diabetes Ambassador and an Executive Leader for the Tour De Cure, happening this Saturday, June 8th, 2024 🚴‍♀️❤️. I’m excited to announce that I’ll be singing the anthem to kick off three of the rides, and I’d love for you to join the Diabetic Loving, Healthy Living Team. You can find the link to join below—we’d be delighted to have you on board!

I’m proud to share that my Hemoglobin A1C levels have been in a remarkably healthy range for several years, consistently between 5.5 and 5.8 🌟. My latest A1C, taken a few months ago, was 5.8. I started this podcast to show everyone affected by diabetes that it’s entirely possible to live a healthy, vibrant, and boundless life with this condition. While I’m in school to become a physician's assistant specializing in endocrinology, I’ll be releasing new episodes periodically.

Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Jason Robinson, the author of "The Beginner Traveler's Guide to Going Nomad" and a type 1 diabetic who received his diagnosis as an adult 🌍📚. We’ll dive into his journey to becoming a nomad, his experience managing diabetes, and how the diabetic community has influenced his life.

Stay tuned and join us for an inspiring conversation! 🎧💬

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.

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.

🚴🏼‍♀️ The Tour de Cure is back in Ann Arbor 2023, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it! 🎉

At the 65-mile rest stop, I met incredible Red riders, provided refreshing treats, and helped manage their blood sugars. My sons, Sage and Sultan, also joined as volunteers and experienced the amazing spirit of the riders. 🙌

Exciting news! I had an inspiring interview with Fox 2 News for the second year. As the American Diabetes Ambassador, my mission is to promote healthy living and empower others on their diabetic journeys. 💪

I discussed the dangers of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, stressing the importance of monitoring, eating well, and staying active. Taking care of insulin, mental health, and physical well-being is crucial. 💙

Losing my grandmother to Type 1 diabetes and seeing my father's battle with Type 2 diabetes ignited my passion to spread awareness and bring hope. With my A1C at 5.7, I'm proof that meticulous care leads to vibrant lives despite the condition. 💫

Through personal stories, I emphasized that with proper management and lifestyle choices, we can have a lifespan comparable to those without diabetes. Let's face challenges with determination, resilience, and hope. Together, we can conquer anything! 🌟

As the American Diabetes Ambassador, I'm dedicated to making a difference. Through the Tour de Cure, we raise funds for research, support programs, and unite those affected by diabetes. 🤝

Diabetes doesn't define us; it gives us the opportunity to embrace a healthy lifestyle and live life to the fullest. I'm here to inspire others to take control of their diabetes and create a future filled with hope, vitality, and well-being. Together, we make a difference! 🌍💙
