My journey with type one diabetes began when I was diagnosed at the age of seven. Since then, I've learned to manage my condition so well that my A1c levels are comparable to those of someone without diabetes. Today, I proudly serve as an American Diabetes Association Ambassador, advocating for better awareness and support for people with diabetes.
In addition to my advocacy work, I'm a published author and currently studying to become a physician assistant with a focus on endocrinology. I balance my professional life by working full-time with an acquisitions company.
Life is wonderfully productive as a mom to six-year-old twin boys. I also host a podcast, "Diabetic Loving," where I share insights and stories about loving our diabetes. As a public speaker and health and wellness coach with the CDC, as well as a certified vegan coach, I am dedicated to helping others achieve their best health.
Thank you for visiting my page! I look forward to connecting with you.
Best,
Safiyah Basir
