It’s actually my insulin pump that keeps me alive, not jacked 😭

Just a reminder:
When insulin is well-managed,
* You can build muscle normally 💪🏼
* Strength gains are similar to non-diabetics 🏋🏻‍♀️
* More muscle → better insulin sensitivity → more stable glucose 🥳

Taking care of your health shouldn’t feel this difficult. Not something that requires courage just to ask for.

Exercise with T1D isn’t easy. Some days the numbers don’t make sense. 🙄
But I keep doing it because it helps me feel better, think clearer, and feel more in control.

Did you workout today?

Partner WODs with equal or synchronised reps remove your ability to hide behind your strengths. There was no “carry potential”, unlike HYROX.

* Synchronised = pace limited by the weaker side because both must move together

* Equal reps = no escaping your weakness you can’t “let your partner take over” your bad movement 😂

👉 Outcome:
There’s no phase where both of us are strong at the same time → constant bottleneck. 😂😂 sorry bro I weak

As a T1D, one of the biggest lessons I learned:
Blood sugar isn’t just about carbs. I’ve had spikes from stress, poor sleep, even workouts…without eating anything.

Now I focus less on single numbers, and more on patterns 📊

Save this for the next time your glucose “doesn’t make sense” 💙

It’s not embarrassing. It’s just real life. :)

Different, but not less. I just have to stay where you are. In Malaysia 🇲🇾, diabetes is common. But this part? No one talks about it.

Living with Type 1 diabetes for 26 years reshapes how i see food. 🥘 It’s no longer just taste or cravings. It becomes numbers, timing, patterns, and physiology. Every meal is a quiet calculation: carbs for the bolus, protein and fat for the delayed rise, fibre for the curve, and activity levels that can flip everything again. Over time, the maths stops feeling like maths…it becomes instinct. You look at a plate and your brain automatically estimates, adjusts, and plans.

But this doesn’t mean I love food any less. In fact, I appreciate it more. I don’t avoid what I enjoy; I just understand it better. I eat with awareness, not restriction. I choose smarter, not smaller. And even after decades, I still believe that food is meant to be enjoyed, just with the knowledge that every choice has a pattern, and knowing the pattern gives you control rather than fear. 😊

Honoured to share my T1D journey with parents of T1D children: the struggles, the adjustments, the day-to-day with CGMs and pump, how I work, eat, move, and still find freedom outdoors. (Thanks for having me!)

I hope they felt the truth I’ve learned: their children can grow into a life that’s full, brave, and deeply beautiful…and hopefully behave better than I did as a teen rebel haha lol. 😂🤪

November is Diabetes Awareness Month 💙 my CGM won’t stop reminding me anyway 😅

I get asked about the devices on my body a lot, so here’s a quick breakdown 👇

📈 CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) reads my glucose every few minutes and shows me the trends.
💉 Insulin Pump delivers insulin all day, replacing the need for multiple injections.

Together, they make T1D management a little smarter, and my life a little easier 💙

Never thought I’d be with a pump this long, but this little tubeless buddy has made life so much easier. Switching from insulin pens to a tubeless pump has truly changed the way I manage my diabetes.

Unlike insulin pens that require multiple daily injections, a tubeless pump provides continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion.

Basal insulin is delivered steadily throughout the day, while bolus doses can be given easily at mealtimes. This allows for finer dose adjustments and often leads to improved glycaemic control and quality of life.

While my pump still require monitoring and troubleshooting, the convenience, flexibility, and reduction in injection burden make them a valuable option, especially for those seeking more stable glucose levels.

If you’re managing T1D with multiple daily injections (MDI), it’s worth discussing with your healthcare provider whether a pump could benefit you. :)
