How can you possibly spend less time managing your diabetes and minimising decision making on a daily basis? I discuss just that in today's interview with the athlete Sid Sharma from Canada. After being diagnosed with T1D, Sid immediately got into cycling and has, since then, done many long distance races around the world such as London to Paris in 2016 with roughly 400km/2500miles and crossing the entire US from New York City to San Francisco in 2017, cycling for about 5.000km/3.00miles.

But not just that, him and his T1 diabetic wife follow the ketogenic diet and he says: “We are running diabetes on autopilot” and he continues saying, “it is about going away from this rollercoaster and having that confidence.”
