UK Wide Cycle Ride isn’t a race, it’s a ride - it’s a ride to show people that just because we have diabetes, it doesn’t stop us from living a normal life.
After getting diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 50, Brian struggled to come to terms with how his life had changed. In his story, he shares how lifestyle changes and a new-found love for cycling have helped him to feel in control again.
