One to watch!

I did feel immensely proud of him when I was watching the Ireland match at the weekend knowing he has type 1.

I loved the quote in your article" “It’s not something that makes you run slower, or be able to lift less weight. Don’t ever think, oh, I’ve got diabetes – I can’t run this race, I can’t lift this weight, play that match. It shouldn’t affect your physical capabilities."

I almost feel as if it should be in all material for people newly diagnosed with type 1 as there is often so much fear, especially around exercise.

 

Wow I saw that game and he is a inspiration to T1 and article should be featured more
I do alot of walking at the weekend with a few drinks and had a few hypos. But it's about how to combat it and now I have it sorted so I don't hypo. Jelly babies are a life savour at weekends and I haven't used them at all in January.

I have come to terms now that T1 shouldn't restrict me and got it out of my head now. Life goes on.

 

Inspirational realtime anecdote. The variables for elite level performance are hard enough, having another area of expertise to manage, is like having to work 2 full-time jobs - he is exceptional.
