Ep30: Flying High with Type 1 Diabetes - Meet: Captain Ben Sive

The official podcast from Diabetes Victoria, hosted by Jack Fitzpatrick When Ben Sive was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last year, he thought his career as a passenger aircraft pilot was over. In this candid chat with podcast host Jack Fitzpatrick, Ben shares how this historically career-ending diagnosis hasn’t kept him grounded at all. Thanks to his determination, support from his family, friends and employer, as well as advances in aviation medicine and careful management of type 1 diabetes, Ben became Australia’s first pilot with type 1 diabetes to be allowed to fly a commercial passenger jet.  Find us online at http://diabetesvic.org.au Subscribe in iTunes - https://apple.co/2Dj29B6 Subscribe on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/37F7ela Subscribe with iHeart Radio - https://ihr.fm/37nc8mV Contact us at [email protected] -- Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts on behalf of Diabetes Victoria © 2022See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
