Living Fearlessly: David's Experience with Type 1 Diabetes, Tech, and Triathlons

Natalie Balmain Season 1 Episode 10

David chats about the differences between his restrictive early diabetes management and the diabetes technology he uses today (despite declaring himself ‘not an insulin pump person’). He reveals how advances in diabetes technology have reduced his food anxiety so that he can enjoy eating out again and tech also gave him the flexibility he needed during triathlon races to compete alongside non-diabetics. So much so that he went onto complete an Ironman, very poignantly with the source of his motivation - his young daughter - crossing the finish line with him.
