Sacha took some time out to tell us about how he manages his sugars. He also told us about his low carb approach to diabetes management. He’s reduced his carb intake and it has given him a huge amount of control over his blood sugars. He uses a @Dexcom constant glucose monitor and an @Animas pump.

He loves what social media like Facebook and Twitter has done for type 1 diabetics: up until 3 years ago he hadn’t met another type 1. Now he gets a chance to learn from all sorts and realise that he’s not alone managing his blood sugars.
