#145: A year of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) - celebrating my 'diaversary' and the lessons I've learnt about myself and running
The Running Rules PodcastEpisode Notes
This month is diabetes awareness month and Friday is world diabetes day. It is also a year since I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
In this episode I recap what diabetes is, how I got diagnosed and how I have balanced my blood sugar management with running.
I also talk about the emotional side of learning about a completely new life and dealing with a chronic condition day after day.
As well as raising awareness of the condition I talk about the hope and inspiration I have gained from seeing others thrive with the condition and hope that can extend to people with other situations and conditions they are facing.
