Ep 51 - Paige Proctor's Journey as an Endocrinology PA and Living with Type 1 Diabetes

Join us for an enlightening conversation with Paige Proctor as we delve into her journey of living with type 1 diabetes and navigating insulin therapy. Paige shares her experiences, from her diagnosis at age 8 to adapting to managing her condition with evolving technology.   Discover how Paige's passion for fitness led her to study Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise in college. After college, she went to PA school and upon graduating started a job as an Endocrinology PA where she worked for 2 years. She loved working with people with diabetes but didn't love the role she played in the health of my patients- as an Endo PA I was looking at "big picture" things and didn't have enough time to address the "day to day" things that affect our blood sugars as T1Ds- particularly, the way our exercise affects our blood sugars. She left that job and now works as a PA part time in Obesity Medicine and work part time as an online content creator & health and fitness coach for people with diabetes.   Explore Paige's holistic approach to managing type 1 diabetes, where she emphasizes the importance of considering lifestyle factors and mental health. Gain practical tips for managing diabetes through shared experiences, exercise, and community support.   Don't miss out on joining Paige on Instagram and in her group "The T1D Paige', on the Honey Health Diabetes App for more empowering conversations on health and well-being with type 1 diabetes.   IG @paige_t1d_fitness Join the Type 1 Paige on the Honey Health Diabetes App   Hit the subscribe button and rate and review to help this podcast reach more people.
