With 21 days remaining before I set off on the Munda Biddi trail with Richard to tackle the end to end challenge of over 1000km of mountain biking through some of the South Wests awesome bush land, I am quietly freaking out – testing the D plan is simply not working for me!

Race and season wrap up
Final race of the season and with some success
The Sunday just gone was Round 5 of the WAMBA XCO state series and for the first time in 5 rounds, not only did my blood sugar sit pretty throughout but I also finally think my riding confidence has built to a great level – hitting those rocky gardens with power and success.
But alas with 2 more rounds left in the season, round 5 would be my final race of the season.
Facing fears
There I was standing in front of a group of my peers at work conducting a presentation on technology in health and how my artificial pancreas system works, then there I was bare naked on the big TV screen behind me for everyone to see, there was no hiding…
The new look diabetes toolkit

Sometimes when we think we know everything, we actually forget the basics…at least thats how I felt this last couple of months…
The Silence
Often I stop and wonder what other people with out Type 1 Diabetes think about in those moments of silence, you know when you’re in a nice quite peaceful environment by your self or when your head hits the pillow at night, it has been so long that I can not remember what I thought about pre-diagnosis during those quite times…
Preperation
Wow, its been a long time since my last post, I have been so busy with life that I have not had a chance to sit down and write something, however many days I have thought about certain topics I wanted to write about but never got around to it…so here goes!
Cumulative Burnout
A scary thing happened to me on Friday night, for the week preceding it I have been getting this stabbing pain in my left shoulder, higher than normal heart rhythms and episodes of shortness of breath, Friday night it all came to a head when I was taken away in an ambulance from my house…
