We're celebrating people's ability to thrive living with diabetes with inspiration from the great Italian composer Giacomo Puccini.

Giacomo Puccini was born in 1858 and later diagnosed with diabetes in 1908. Numerous reports mention that he struggled to manage his diagnosis for much of his life.

We will be interspersing highlights of the history of diabetes, self-care treatments, and innovations for the past hundred years as we discuss Puccini's artistry and life.

Among Puccini's artistic triumphs include La bohème, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly. Unfortunately, his last opera, based on the fable of Turandot, would remain unfinished due to his death from throat cancer in Brussels in 1924.

Guests include Toby Smithson, MS, RDN, LD, CDCES, FAND Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDCES. Hosted by Mr. Divabetic.

Throughout this podcast, we will be featuring music from Puccini: Great Opera Arias courtesy of SONY Music.
