In 2017, Don Muchow became the first person with T1D (and only the third person ever) to complete a solo run of the Texas Capital to Coast race. He challenged himself again in 2018, becoming the first ever person to take on Relay Iowa as a solo runner.

Global Ambassador Council member Paloma Kemak hosted her own fundraiser for T1D in her community using Beyond Type 1's DIY Fundraising Downloads to guide her.

It was just a normal Saturday in the Northwood Blyth household in Melbourne on the 10th of November 2002. But the next day our lives would change forever.

I decided to join the Beyond Type 1 Team for two main reasons: To have a new goal that would allow me to reconnect with my training, my perseverance and my exercise ... the second reason is to educate and keep dispelling myths and stigmas, leading by example. I couldn't believe it when I was chosen and I realized that I was the only Mexican runner on the team.

In the US, there are over 1.25 million people with Type 1 diabetes. In 2017, there was only one regular or recurring character onscreen with Type 1.

The story behind one child's preventable death.

I fought the fight that I had to fight. I worked hard in training, had a good race plan, and swam an incredible distance. It was unreasonable to compare myself to my teammates and it only caused me to diminish what I had done.

I love my Riding on Insulin coaches. They taught me how to live beyond Type 1. I can't wait for camp this year! I even went to the mountain bike camp during the summer.

I follow a number of inspiring organisations and individuals who constantly remind and prove to the world that we Type 1s are capable of living full and rich lives, but some days I need to take a step away from the positivity, and come to grips with my reality.

This disease chases me wherever I run, it is there whenever I sleep, the reality of its dangers haunts me. It toys with my emotions as I worry one day my children may develop the disease. It threatens my parenting each time I need to be admitted to the hospital.

As a personal trainer, and especially as a personal trainer who specializes in helping people living with diabetes reach their fitness goals, I always recommend a strength building fitness plan over a simple diet plan.

Telling kids what not to do is exhausting and usually not too effective. Instead, try praise, the positive reinforcement that is far more motivating.
