Summary

After being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 5 years ago, I started running. At first, it was very gradual and cautious as I was highly insulin sensitive, and any type of exercise was quite scary. The post exercise low blood sugar was quite intense, and it took a while to feel in control. But once I got out there on the roads, paths, and trails, I knew I had caught the bug, and now I constantly find myself asking... what's next? Join me on my journey to complete my first 100-mile multi day ultra marathon in 2024, all whilst managing type 1 diabetes.
