My journey with diabetes led me to create this heartfelt space to connect with others and share valuable resources. It's been a challenging but rewarding experience, and I'm so passionate about helping everyone live their best lives!
I have diabetes, which inspired me to create this website to share valuable information and support with others. Despite the challenges, I’m passionate about living life to the fullest and helping others do the same.
I’m in my mid-50s and have always had a passion for an active lifestyle. Growing up, I was heavily involved in sports—whether it was playing cricket, smashing tennis balls on the court, or competing in fire brigade running team events. Staying fit and healthy was simply part of who I was.
However, life threw me a curveball a few years ago when I was diagnosed with diabetes. It wasn’t an easy road to acceptance, but through this journey, I discovered the power of knowledge and community. That’s why I decided to set up this website—to share accurate, practical information about living with diabetes, because I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to find the right resources.
My wife Maxine and I are all about making the most of life. We love exploring new places, embracing new experiences, and living life to the fullest. Together, we’re proving that even with challenges like diabetes, a fulfilling and adventurous life is not only possible—it’s ours for the taking.
