In this episode of Doing Well with Diabetes, host Rob Howe interviews Steffi Radcliffe, an Olympic hammer thrower living with type 1 diabetes who was recently part of Australia’s 2024 Olympic Team. Steffi shares her journey of managing diabetes while excelling in athletics and academics, including her experiences at the University of Georgia and Harvard University.  Stephanie and Rob discuss the unrealistic expectation of maintaining perfect blood sugar levels for people with type 1 diabetes. They highlight the dangers of striving for perfection, likening it to general life pressures that can bring about stress and negativity. They emphasize the importance of managing diabetes to the best of one's ability without demanding perfection. Stephanie also discusses the challenges and strategies for managing diabetes in high-pressure situations, the importance of a positive mindset, and her hopes of inspiring the next generation of athletes with diabetes. The episode highlights Steffi's growth in embracing her diabetes identity and connecting with the type 1 community. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
