Part 2 of Eoin's chat with Conor McCarthy (@conormccarthy88).

Conor was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 19, just 10 months ago! He is a full time student currently studying Electronic and Computing Engineering in university while also competing in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) at a national level. We have no doubt we’ll be seeing him in the UFC!

Despite only being diagnosed with T1D so recently, Conor already has a very confident and positive outlook around his Diabetes. He takes us through how his life has changed since diagnosis, how he adapted to always get the most out of training, his preparation before and recovery after fights to stay on top of his bloods, his own visualisation of ‘already being there’, and what to expect from him in the future.

A very inspiring and insightful chat from Conor. Get in touch if you need a bodyguard with Type 1 Diabetes!
