From navigating insurance denials and getting your driver’s license to fighting the flu or food poisoning, you never know what life will throw your way. That’s why it’s important to arm yourself with a little extra Type 1 knowledge and plan ahead, so the unexpected doesn’t disrupt your daily life. Like that cup of coffee morning ritual — ever wonder what the caffeine might do to blood sugars? Or diabetes complications — do you know how can you prevent them and what should you look for? Beyond Type 1 took a hard look at life and said, “Is that all there is?”

This year I ran in my first Backyard Ultra Marathon and lasted 11 hours (73.7kms). My Type 1 was the least of my worries as I\'d put in the hard work and trusted myself and my body. We can actually do anything.\\"
