On today's DiabetesPowerShow, Charlie Cherry shares his thoughts upon returning home from his 40 year high school class reunion. (Oh my!)
Then Charlie Cherry, Chris Moore, Theresa Moore, and Chris Daniel
are joined by Rodney Miller. Rodney is a Type 1 Diabetic, as well
as a Competitive Strongman who resides in Midland, Texas with his
wife Suzanne, daughter Kiera, and two Great Danes, Eisen and
Fergus. He uses his sport to bring more awareness and advocacy to
the Diabetic community. Having dealt with Type 1 for the last 28
years, Rodney has a unique perspective on the disease. Rodney's
mantra of "Diabetes doesn't define who I am as a person" promotes a
sense self-empowerment in others. When Rodney isn't lifting cars or
picking up large stones, he is a petroleum landman in the oil and
gas industry. Having spent 10 years working and negotiating in a
high-risk field such as this takes a resiliency that he attributes
to his years of dealing with a 24/7 disease. Rodney also provides
training programs and performance-based nutrition for clients all
over the United States.
Coming soon...
Look for his documentary on what it is like to be an athlete and a
diabetic.
