Last week, our team had the chance to attend the Challenge Award Innovation ceremony organised by the @Diabetes Center Berne. Special focus on the inspiring keynote given by Jack Trigger, a solo sailor with T1D and a role model for overcoming diabetes which has never limited him
We’d like to say a huge #ThankYou to all our amazing #SouthWest #volunteers who joined us at our fab first ever National online Conference, and to @TriggerSailing for giving such a fascinating and fun talk! And good luck with your future adventures Jack!
Solo offshore sailor, Jack Trigger @TriggerSailing is the Inspirational Speaker at our Volunteer Conference. Expect tales of transatlantic competitions and how he steered not just his 40 ft yacht but also his type 1 diabetes, through rocky waters. Register orlo.uk/8Y0t5
We're excited to be part of @MediaplanetUK's Managing Diabetes campaign, which launched last week in the Guardian & online. Check out this interview with our amazing ambassador @TriggerSailing on how he manages his #diabetes alongside his sailing career: orlo.uk/qPkCY

@acjones1960 @Lloyd_Images Mostly just different varieties of terror reaching!
New world record on the Fastnet course!! What a team! 595nm, 25hrs 4mins 8secs, average speed 23.73 knots. Awesome photos @Lloyd_Images #worldrecord #oceanracing #sailing #type1diabetes
Wishing many happy returns, and a safe return to the ocean waves in 2021, to our wonderful supporter @TriggerSailing!
@DiabetesUK Thanks @DiabetesUK ! Adventures to come 😏
.@TriggerSailing was in the early stages of his sailing career when he was diagnosed with T1D, having left his engineering course to pursue the dream. Read about his journey in his blog. #FreeStyleLibreAmbassador #TeamFreeStyleLibre #YouCanDoIt #LifeInTheZone #LifeToTheFullest

Offshore solo sailor @TriggerSailing spends significant time alone in challenging and unpredictable environments. Check out his tips for dealing with isolation when you live with diabetes. #FreeStyleLibreAmbassador #TeamFreeStyleLibre #YouCanDoIt #LifeInTheZone #LifeToTheFullest
“Accurately and consistently knowing my glucose level is critical to both safety and performance”, says Jack Trigger, offshore solo sailor and FreeStyle Libre Ambassador. Here’s his new blog. #TeamFreeStyleLibre #YouCanDoIt #LifeInTheZone #LifeToTheFullest @TriggerSailing
This Diabetes Week, I'm joining @DiabetesUK to paint #TheBigPicture of life with diabetes. There are 4.8 million people living with diabetes in the UK, and @DiabetesUK are fighting for a better future for all of them. Find out how: bit.ly/2XRAxN0
I am now an ambassador for @AbbottNews and @FreeStyleDiabet! If you’ve ever wondered about the little round disc on my arm that isn’t just a fashion accessory.. It’s called #FreeStyleLibre and is a glucose monitor. There is no way I could sail offshore on my own without it.
