Hi, I’m Rob.
I'm passionate about health and fitness, and striving to live a strong and healthy life with type 1 diabetes.

About me

Hi, I’m Rob. I’ve been living and learning with type 1 diabetes since 1991. My approach to managing my diabetes focuses heavily on fitness (especially resistance training) and cooking good, 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.

Hi, I’m Rob. I’ve been living and learning with type 1 diabetes since 1991.

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.

This site is still a work in progress. Here's what you can expect as more content gets added in the coming weeks: research summaries on various T1D topics; my workout programs and an extensive library of dumbbell exercises; recipes; personal notes and stories; and a collection of books, podcasts, and other resources related to diabetes and fitness.

I should also mention that I am not a doctor or medical professional of any kind. The information on this site is based on my own experience and research. Nothing I say or share should be taken as medical advice. Always consult with your professional diabetes care team before making decisions about your health.
