Episode 178 - Elliott Fry, T1D, NFL Kicker Diabetics Doing Things Podcast

This week’s guest is Elliott Fry (@elliott_fry29 on Instagram)

Rob and Eritrea drop another intro and Eritrea asks Rob to reveal his full story of the journey to playing professional sports for the first time. Elliott’s story embodies so much of the professional sports grind that many people don’t experience, and Rob’s story while he did not reach the highest level, is very familiar for sports journeyman and women.

After the intro, Rob, Eritrea and Elliott discuss:

  • Getting Diagnosed after a Hockey game

  • Playing sports with T1D as a child

  • Switching from Soccer to Football

  • Camp Sweeney memories with Eritrea

  • Kicking for South Carolina on National TV in a stadium with thousands of fans

  • Preparing for games with blood sugar checks, before and after CGM

  • The professional football grind

  • And much more!
