About me

I'm Rob, the writer behind Real Type One.

I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes the day before my 15th birthday. After a swift diagnosis from the doctor, I spent the night in hospital that night and since then I've been checking my blood sugar and injecting insulin multiple times a day. Having had diabetes for almost half my life now, I'm at a point where I want to learn as much as I can, which is why I made Real Type One.
​
My aim is to become more educated on diabetes so I can live a long and healthy life, as well as sharing my experiences with others. I am also keen to try other people's recommendations and tips on how to get better control, eat healthier and become a better diabetic.
