Hello!
Yesterday I registered on the forum and I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself.I am Julio, I am 37 years old and I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for almost 30 years. A few years ago I was more involved in sharing my experience and reflections on Diabetes, writing in different publications and blogs and even making videos although I stopped doing so.
I have always been a sports lover, I am a Senior Technician in Physical and Sports Activities and my entire career has been focused on ensuring that diabetes does not represent a barrier for me.I have participated in dozens of races, marathons, half marathons, trail and ultratrail and gravel and road cycling events.I have never been one of the first, but I have been able to finish what I have set out to do, without risk to my health.
Currently I continue to do sports daily and participate in sports events, I have good control (although I resist using a pump) and a few months ago I discovered the strict low carb diet that I have adapted to my routine and it has greatly improved my self-control and emotional state.
It is a pleasure to greet you, I hope to continue learning as I have already begun to do by reading your contributions and I hope I can also be of help with whatever I can contribute.
