Join me and Linda Franklin for a conversation about being a competitive athlete with Type 1 Diabetes.

Linda was born 1956 in Northern California and has been active her whole life – from jumping off the roof of her house, to cheerleading, to snow and water skiing, to lifting weights when in her 20s. At 26 years old, Linda was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. She learned that exercise was an important part of the equation when trying to control blood sugars. She dove into skiing and has continued staying active .

Linda had two daughters in her 30s despite being told she may never be able to have children. While raising her daughters she got into aerobics (it was the Jane Fonda era after all) and at 45 started playing competitive soccer. At 57 she started doing CrossFit and at 61 started powerlifting. She’s competed in nine meets setting State, National and World records. She is currently training for a national level powerlifting meet later this year.
