Episode 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.
