It's summer time and schools are out.. gosh I’ve had a lot of time to reflect during my time off too. This time a year ago Diabetes Squad podcast didn't even exist, but the in-school programme had just finished another year. The podcast was not meant to be a thing, I never envisioned it. I remember speaking to the Head of School, wanting to launch …

Fitness is word that was taboo for a longtime in my childhood. I simply hated PE! I found it really uncomfortable and self-conscious doing PE with my form group... the thought of group fitness classes was simply overwhelming. And now that people can see my devices and hear the occasional beep beep, even more so. But here I am talking to an inspirin…

When Julie and I met on a diab…
