Ken Kniss

Hi my name is Ken Kniss. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) at the age of 25 in 2007. As the founder of SLWD and the host of The Healthy Diabetic Podcast, I understand the daily struggles of managing blood sugar fluctuations while balancing life in a physically demanding world. Having lived with Diabetes for nearly 20 years, I know firsthand how unpredictable blood sugar can be—especially when working long hours, handling stress, and staying active on the job. My personal challenges inspired me to create SLWD, a Diabetes Health Coaching Company designed to bridge the gap between individuals and their medical teams, addressing the real-world challenges of living with Diabetes. SLWD is more than just a coaching company; it serves as a roadmap to help those affected by Diabetes regain control and live their best lives.
