I am a cyclist with Type 1 Diabetes sharing my experiences and how I do things combining my Diabetes, sport and life in general

#larrythecat’s cheerleading wasn’t on point while I was #zwifting a workout tonight. Disappointing as it was a brutal session! At least I managed to pretty much nail my blood glucose level by the end of the workout! Yay for being able to use a temp basal rate of -20% as I no doubt would have had big problems during the ride otherwise! Just excuse the elevated levels earlier! @gozwift @gozwiftausnz #catsmakebadcheerleaders #cycling #indoortraining #typeonediabetes #typeonecyclist #diabetes #type1diabetes

When aorta-coach @gozwift throws this at you in a workout in your training programme you know it’s going to be a good tough ride. I wasn’t wrong! #redmeansouchy #zwift #indoortraining #cycling #typeonecyclist

I don’t wear this cycling top often enough! Espe

I don’t wear this cycling top often enough! Especially at this time of the year where this top just isn’t warm enough. Tonight I’m going to attempt a workout on #zwift but given how smashed the legs are after yesterday’s cyclocross I can’t see this going well. @teamnovonordisk #type1diabetes #typeonecyclist #training #thisisgonnahurt #changingdiabetes

Finish a 95 minute workout on #zwift and see this

Finish a 95 minute workout on #zwift and see this blood glucose graph? Damn. If only I could manage that all the time!!! Nailed it! #type1diabetes #typeonecyclist

When there’s a warning to “notice the increase

When there’s a warning to “notice the increase of training stress”, the warning should be taken seriously it would seem! Legs are now ouch my and my blood glucose level was a little low at the end. That’s ok though. Time for dinner!

Getting some (hopefully) good training done on #zwift I’ve committed to a training programme which I’ll hopefully see gains from at the end. Training inside on the trainer means I stay out of the shitty weather we have at the moment and can manage the #diabetes better! @gozwift #type1diabetes #typeonecyclist #thelegsgoroundandround #oldschoolsworks

You know it’s been a tough outing on the bike when you get home and having a wee lie down on the driveway for a bit before even opening the door is appealing! Thanks @cycleworlddunedin for putting on a banger of a race! #raceday #specializedcrux #crux #type1diabetes #diabetes #cyclocross #typeonecyclist

So I decided to jump on #zwift tonight and sticking to the norm I couldn’t let a sprint go by without having a crack at it. Ended up doing the fastest time and now I’m in the Zwift Green Jersey! For now at least until someone does a faster time. Now the legs are a little wobbly. @gozwift #training #cycling #type1diabetes #typeonecyclist #diabetes

Ugh. Feeing so lazy. I’m suffering from a bit of a slump in motivation for training. Possibly because of lack of races at this time of the year. Apart from one this weekend. So any training now isn’t going to change anything for my fitness but I’m hoping I can get the legs used to turning over with effort. So #zwift it is. And a whopping 20km. To make matters more frustrating it would seem my #dexcom CGM sensor is up for replacement. #nomotivation #type1diabetes #typeonecyclist

I haven’t had a great deal of motivation for getting out on the bike this week. Winter is on its way and there’s not much in the way of local racing happening. So I tioight I’d get out on the cyclocross bike on a trai I haven’t ridden it on before. Obviously it’s a different ride to when I ride my mountain bike on it, but I’m just not feeling it. Off home I head after only a few k’s on the trail. #type1diabetes #typeonecyclist #cyclocross

When you go to your regular pharmacy and they ask you to show some pharmacy students your CGM and insulin pump and hope for a good blood glucose level to show on my phone. Nailed it! #type1diabetes #bloodglucoselevel #cgm #dexcom #likeaboss #ifonlythingswerealwaysthisway

So it’s now the day after the 2019 Naseby 12 Hou

So it’s now the day after the 2019 Naseby 12 Hour mountain bike race. I’m pretty shattered still and the bike is in need of some TLC. But more importantly I need to keep an eye on my diabetes. Yesterday’s race will have an impact on my blood glucose levels for a day or two yet. And I might still have some times where my blood sugar level will drop. I’ll also reflect a bit on what I managed to do during the twelve hours of riding and where things not only went wrong but also where they went right. #type1diabetes #typeonecyclist #mountainbiking #recovery

I’ve learnt it is extremely difficult to take ph

I’ve learnt it is extremely difficult to take photos of someone who has just finished a 12hour race as well as support them in their final movements. I am so beyond proud to have been part of Brendan’s day and I hope my photos of the day show the dedication he has to his passion. Thanks for letting me join you, Sarita signing out!!! #typeonecyclist #typeonediabetes #Naseby12hour #proud

We are reaching the end of the night and so the headlamps have been switched on. Brendan’s had some hard times this race but here we are, waiting at the finish line for him to finish his last lap!! Come on Brendan, you can do it!! #typeonecyclist #typeonediabetes #Naseby12hr #lessthanalaptogo

After a short break at the Red Cross tent, Brendan

After a short break at the Red Cross tent, Brendan is back on his bike!! Took the opportunity to have some insulin, food and a breather while the fabulous RC crew cleaned his eye out 🙂 6 laps down, who knows how many more!! #typeonecyclist #typeonediabetic #mountainbiking #Naseby12hr #RedCrossAreAwesome

From briefing to racing, another beautiful day for

From briefing to racing, another beautiful day for the 12hr Mountain Bike. 15years of this race and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. Brendan’s just done his first lap and is tracking nicely so far. #typeonecyclist #typeonediabetes #mountainbiking #naseby12hr

Hi everyone! My name is Sarita and I am in charge

Hi everyone! My name is Sarita and I am in charge of this account while our typeonecyclist (the one on the left) is riding the 12hour!! This is the face of before.. let’s see what he looks like in 12hours #naseby12hour #typeonecyclist #cycling #mountainbiking #choochoomf

So tomorrow I’m doing a 12 Hr mountain bike race

So tomorrow I’m doing a 12 Hr mountain bike race. Nutrition for tomorrow will include this! Gels, including some caffeinated options, and a carb drink made from concentrate. Previous experience with the @hammernutrition products have proven that they help with managing my Diabetes during endurance events #howihammer #nutrition #type1diabetes #diabetes #typeonecyclist #caffeinemakestheworldgoround #caffeinekeepsmywheelsturning #caffienekeepsmylegsgoing #allthecaffeinehashtags

Out on some local trails on the mountain bike toda

Out on some local trails on the mountain bike today. I’m trying to get my skills on the mountain bike back in a hurry for a 12 Hour mountain bike race next weekend. Looks like that’s what the first few hours of the race might be for! 🤣 loving having my #garmin show my blood glucose level. A little hard to see in the pic but at that time it was 4.1. A touch low but it came up after some quick acting carbs!

Time for a change of bike! I don’t ride my mount

Time for a change of bike! I don’t ride my mountain bike enough, and it shows whenever I get on it and ride on trails. But that needs to change and change fast as there’s a real chance I’m about to throw myself into the deep end and do a 12 Hr mountain bike race in... two weeks. Crap. #typeonecyclistonamountsinbike
