If I can climb a mountain and live with diabetes, you can pursue your passion [too]. Don’t let diabetes stop you.”

Well done for achieving such a feit … mountain climb & with T1. I have had T1 for 48 yrs & have had & am having a wonderful life. Havent climbed a mountain but have had 2 fab kids … Bringing them up has at times felt like a long climb but well worth all the effort … With or without T1. T1 is a controllable condition… Saddens me some turn it in to their whole life. Good to see such spirit.
