The Novo Nordisk company has decided to become its main spot, because it sees Albero as a person "with a tremendous determination, which serves as an example to show that diabetes, well controlled, is not an obstacle."
Daniel Albero made history in January 2019 by becoming the first pilot with type 1 diabetes to play the Dakar Rally, where he managed to reach the fourth stage in Peruvian territory before retiring due to mechanical problems.
