Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes

One of only three NBA players EVER with T1D, Gary Forbes now inspires off the court

05 Nov 2024

Description

Living with type 1 diabetes as a professional athlete is an exercise in intense management and mental stamina. Gary Forbes did it before today’s technology – no CGMs or AID pumps, not even fast acting insulin at the start of his career! – and without a diabetes community. He’s making up for lost time with that last bit.. connecting in a way that he says has changed how he looks at T1D. Of course, we’re talking about basketball – as one of only three NBA players with type 1, Gary has a very unique perspective and a great message he’s getting out in a new comic series.
