I'm a type 1 diabetic entrepreneur and writer.
I've had diabetes for over 15 years now and I learnt how to deal with it the hard way. I wrote Joe's Rough Guide to Diabetes when I was 18 so that people could avoid the problems and stigma I'd faced learning to control my disease.
After university I rewrote the book and designed the Small-in-one. It's a diabetic carry case that takes all you need for 24 hours; it's compact but atill useful. And it makes managing diabetes on MDI much more convenient (particularly if you got out a lot).
I moved on to a pump in 2011 and love it - such amazing device. It gives me great flexibility and levels of control... and allows the odd indulgence of a biscuit or two. Now that's what I call progress! Still use the Small-in-one for back up - really handy for supplies in an emergency.
Writing a Tudor novel, which will hopefully be done soon...
