Having lived with type 1 diabetes since 2005 I know and understand the daily challenges it presents. I have spent many years reading, learning and experimenting with many approaches to managing my diabetes. I have a keen interest in health, nutrition and exercise which gave me a strong basis to build upon.

However I am not a doctor, nor do I have any medical qualifications. All information and knowledge I provide was attained by me over many years and is subjective to my experiences. Whilst I cannot guarantee its accuracy, every attempt has been made to make sure it is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

I am also a software engineer and have spent many years designing and building websites, and online services. In my spare time I like to keep active with various exercises, rock climb and bouldering.
