About Me

Hi, I’m Rob. I’m a husband, a father, and type 1 diabetic.

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1991, at age fifteen. Since then I have been riding the roller coaster of high and low blood sugar and learning to manage my insulin through trial and error.

My approach to managing my diabetes focuses heavily on fitness (especially resistance training) and preparing nutritious, blood sugar-friendly meals.

I started this website to share that part of my life, and to show that with the right knowledge and consistent effort, leading a strong and healthy life with diabetes is entirely possible.
