Roz has been living with type 1 diabetes for over 23 years and has been training as a powerlifter with her coach Steve for the last six. Since that first session together, Steve has learned a lot more about diabetes than just what to do when Roz is low and he uses that knowledge to not only be a better coach for Roz, but to be more empathetic towards all of his clients.
