Adam Smith on mindfulness, mental health, and diabetes

Sky Sports presenter Adam Smith was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just as his career was taking off. I caught up with Adam to discuss a day in his life and the challenges of managing the condition while working in the fast-paced world of live television. We also spoke about his support for the Mind in Range Collection, created in partnership with Omnipod and Calm. Adam shares how he uses mindfulness as a practical tool to help navigate the daily stresses of living with type 1 diabetes.

Whether you’re a fan or not, there’s a whole host of health benefits beyond the darker nights, colder days, and extra layers.
