Hello all,
My name is Colin, I have been type 1 for 47 years.
I am using an Insulin Pump in conjunction with Dexcom CGM
I was supposed to be running the London Marathon again tomorrow for the 7th time as part of the JDRF team but had to withdraw 2 weeks ago due to a recuring foot problem.
Have just recently began to lose hypo awareness so I have just began a 6 week intermittent fasting regime in order to readjust basal rates - hoping that this will work.
I have had an interesting life with Diabetes, fought it for many years, paid the price in my eary twenties ( diagnosed aged 8 )
Suffered with Annorexia and Bulemia for many years, lost my eyesight for 2 years as a result of teenage rebellion.
Am a good boy now and try to set an example to others, I work wwith both UK Diabetes Charities, and interact with lots of T1 kids by way of public speaking about my life.
Have just stumbled across this site........ anyone listening?
Colin.
