Living with type 1 diabetes hasn’t made life easier, but it has taught me that life with diabetes is a team sport.
Some of the shortcuts I found by trial and error made sport and exercise easier, and some of the people, books, podcasts and inspiring stories I bumped into along the way were key to my mindset.
IMPORTANT my tips are from my practical experience living with T1D. Everyone is different, we do not have the same needs, we react differently to food, exercise and medication. There are common trends, but always seek expert advice and discuss your approach with your doctor. It is what I do.
