Hi I am heather a 52 year old Gym/class instructor and in September After a few hard months and collapsing was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. To say it was a shock is an understatement after all my age my job my healthy life style (I do enjoy the odd drinkie and bag of chips though) it has been a challenging few months getting used to stabilising my blood sugars (or not ) whilst still working and being a mum a nan and wife... a caring daughter to elderly parents plus keeping all my clients motivated and moral high.!!
I’ve had many many lows both in blood sugars and emotionally and constantly having highs blood glucose only which is a constant worry as I feel my body struggle ... I’m learning every day as every day is always different ... I’m lucky enough to have some fantastic people behind me at the side of me and sometimes leading me .. that’s why I knew if I agreed to run the LONDON MARATHON my gym girls (family ) my friends and family would support me hold me up and be my crutch should I need one ... so I’m now on a mission, life is full of surprises full of knocks full of good and bad how we deal with it is up to us ... I’m ready to face it head on .. please get behind me in front of me by my side .. and if you feel I need it lead me ... why ???
Because I’m a frigging diabetic .... pmsl .. ( that’s my catch phrase )
