This grandmother believes in living life to the fullest, no matter age or diagnosis. She has outlived her doctor's dismal predictions by practicing what she teaches. Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes over 40 years ago, she was given no hope. Tracy became a researcher as a teen in order to learn how she could prove that hopeless diagnosis wrong.
She “celebrated” living with diabetes for 40 years without complications by completing a continuous solo 3,527-mile bicycle ride from San Francisco to New York City. Tracy and the ride were featured on numerous TV stations across the county, touching many lives along the way, and proving we can do anything if we make the right choices.
Tracy is the founder of The Diabetes Technology Advocacy Foundation, formed to provide life-saving Continuous Glucose Monitors and Insulin Pumps to children whose families cannot otherwise afford them.
Tracy's podcast Your Diabetes Breakthrough offers valuable insights which focuses on scientific peer-reviewed research, along with interviews with physicians and scientists to provide listeners with tools they can use to improve their health and longevity even while living with diabetes.
Tracy has a B.S. in Psychology, is a Certified Personal Trainer, Wellness Coach, has lived with Type 1 diabetes for 43-years without any complications, and is a life-long researcher.
