This week I had the privilege of chatting to Dave Rogers, who’s had type 1 diabetes for 30 years but spent the first three years trying to manage a misdiagnosis of type 2. A now retired investment banker, Dave has been undergoing treatment for chronic myeloid leukaemia since 2014, having beaten testicular cancer in 2004.
Dave talks through his colourful life experience with huge openness, discussing how he’s dealt with a wealth of challenging illnesses, and the devastating impact losing his sight had on his outlook as well as his diabetes management.
Dave has an incredible sense of perspective and his mantra of ‘live life large’ helps him to keep moving forward. A lovely, genuine man to chat to with some incredible stories and a fantastic outlook despite facing some serious blows in the ‘boxing ring of life’! What a guy.
