The Edinburgh Crammond parkrun on October 4th will mark a significant milestone in my quest to manage my Type 2 Diabetes. My Nike Running app tells me that I will have run the 40,075 km it takes to run around the world. Twenty years ago I found out that I had Type 2 Diabetes and the first thing I did was buy a pair of Nike trainers that had the little pod inside the sole that synced to your iPod. I never set out to do this but it has happened and to celebrate the last kilometres I'd like to raise awareness and some funds for Diabetes UK.
