Diabetic Mavericks
The Diabetic Mavericks show, where we explore the uncharted territory of living with diabetes. Join us as we share stories, insights, and expert advice to empower and inspire fellow diabetics to live life on their own terms. Let's break the mold and embrace our uniqueness as Mavericks in the diabetic community.

If you're someone who received the same kind of advice and are lost, let this show help guide you to make the decisions that leave you empowered to ask the right questions and be given the chance to have a CHOICE.
