As today’s guest says “I don't need to be told what to do, I need to be empowered to make my own choices.” Danica Collins is a scientist, Board-Certified Health and Well-Being Coach, and public speaker with 18 years lived experience with T1D. The throughline of the conversation is self efficacy, advocating for yourself, and education. From doing your research, to the time her CGM went out in an African jungle and she had to get back to basics, Danica is about empowering YOU to know your diabetes best. In an ever evolving tech world, Danica speaks to the importance of bringing research to your doctor as well as what she’s excited about for the future of AI and diabetes. We talk about diversity in health equity and the lack of diabetes education in other countries. Finally, we speak life into a shared vision of the not so far future where health coaching is a crucial part of our health system.
