This has serious potential. Diabetic type 1s stomping around south east Asia. Learning about the local culture and what it’s like to live in type 1 where we visit. Also, if anyone is fearful of travelling, having a group of people that understand may help ease some of these fears.

I don’t think I fully understood how lucky I was with Type 1 diabetes until I travelled through Cambodia.

Back home, I complain about sensors failing, carrying insulin around and blood sugars ruining my plans. But travelling through Cambodia really opened my eyes to how different life with Type 1 can look when access to insulin, glucose testing and basic diabetes care is much harder.

That’s why I decided to run 100km for Action4Diabetes, a charity supporting young people with Type 1 across Southeast Asia with the supplies and support they need.

And somehow… you’ve already smashed the £1,000 target. ❤️

I’m only 8km into the 100km, and I’ll be back running again very soon, but seeing the donations, shares and messages already has been incredible.

There’s still 92km to go, but this was never really about the running.

It’s about helping make sure where somebody is born doesn’t decide what chance they get at living with Type 1 diabetes.

If you want to help me push this even further and support young people living with Type 1 diabetes, you can donate here 💙👇

Thank you so much to everyone who’s supported it already. 💙
Still a long way to go, but what a start.

Anyone wanna come south east Asia with me ? I am in the process of organising a group trip. I am also in talks with type 1 diabetes charity in the aim of spreading awareness to the health inequalities regarding type 1 diabetes care.

Because my blood sugar was crashing 😂

Everyone else was enjoying one of the best views of the trip and I was sat there absolutely demolishing Oreos trying to get my sugars back up.

And genuinely, one thing I’d love about travelling with people connected to Type 1 is not having to explain moments like this.

No explaining why I suddenly need to stop.
No weird looks when the CGM alarms start going off.
No explaining why I’m carrying half a pharmacy around Asia 😂

That’s a big part of why I’m putting together my first group trip in South East Asia.

It’ll be open to people with Type 1, family members, partners/friends, basically anyone with a genuine connection to Type 1 who understands it.

If you’d genuinely consider coming, join the waitlist here 👇

What is your biggest fear when it comes to travelling with type 1 diabetes?

Mine is having an awfully bad hypo, this happened in Cambodia 🇰🇭

Have you ever wondered how different your life with Type 1 might be depending on where you were born?

While volunteering with Action4Diabetes in Cambodia, a girl looked at my CGM and told me it was her dream to have one. I haven’t stopped thinking about it.

So I’m running 100km to help provide insulin, glucose monitoring and support to young people across Southeast Asia. 💙

What piece of diabetes support could you not manage without?

I’ll leave the fundraiser I’m working on in the comments.

Someone messaged me today asking if I’d ever travel with her 29-year-old son because he has Type 1 and wants to see more of the world.

And honestly… I keep getting versions of this.

So I’m thinking about something a bit mad:

What if I hosted a proper group trip in Asia for people who want the adventure, but don’t necessarily want to do it alone?

I’m not booking anything yet. I’m just trying to work out if people would genuinely want this.

If you could pick one country in Asia for a group trip, where are we going? 👇

What’s one positive thing you think type 1 has given you or a family member? For me it’s taught me independence.
