On this episode of Diabetics Doing Things, Rob is reunited with musician and face of the Freestyle Libre, Austin James! Austin and Rob originally met during the pandemic as a part of the @beyondtype1 Imagine Spotlights Series. Rob and Eritrea talk to Austin about:

• Testing on a friend’s glucose machine (and raising some eyebrows) leading to a T1D diagnosis.

• Life as a musician starting early including being classically trained in violin

• CGM access and becoming the face of nationwide Freestlye Libre ads

• The importance of CGM access and representing black and brown communities

• When T1D leads to another chronic illness diagnosis

• Mental health as a POC with Type One Diabetes
