Hi, I’m Shawn Wicks, founder of DiabeticFighter.com, a nutrition coach, and a Type 1 diabetes advocate. My mission is simple: to help people with diabetes take control of their blood sugar, fuel their bodies the right way, and live stronger, healthier lives.

My journey with diabetes began at age 29 when I was diagnosed with Type 1. As a former Muay Thai kickboxer, I was no stranger to discipline and pushing my body to its limits. Diabetes changed everything. Managing blood sugar while staying fit and performing at a high level was challenging and often overwhelming. Instead of letting it hold me back, I made it my mission to master blood sugar control, nutrition, and performance, and to help others do the same.

With more than a decade of coaching experience, I’ve helped Type 1s, athletes, and Type 2s who are ready to take real action. My approach combines science-based strategies with real-world experience, focusing on sustainable fat loss, muscle building, and blood sugar stability. I know firsthand what it takes to overcome frustration, burnout, and inconsistency, and to create lasting results that feel good both physically and mentally.

My Coaching Philosophy

I believe true freedom comes from structure, not restriction. My approach is grounded in science, data, and lived experience. I teach my clients how to take control of their nutrition, mindset, and blood sugar through consistency, accountability, and education because mastery creates freedom.

I coach with empathy and honesty. I will always be your cheerleader, but I will also tell you the truth, even when it is uncomfortable, because that is where growth begins. My role is not to hand you motivation, it is to help you build momentum through systems that work.

Having lived through my own battles with illness, recovery, and transformation, I understand how powerful it is to rewrite your story. My coaching is about more than macros or workouts. It is about shifting identity, rebuilding confidence, and creating lasting results that feel sustainable.

Compassionate truth. Structured freedom. Real transformation.
