Glucose, Sport and Helping People ❤️Grateful. Truly 💙 To all the incredible people I’ve met along this journey — THANK YOU. For your energy, your trust, your openness, and for showing up every single day. I see your effort. I see your progress. And I’m so proud of you 🔥 @paolomaresca_street @marleendemes @leo_bombi For me, this is more than sport. Living with Type 1 diabetes, I know how challenging it can be — but also how powerful it is to take control, to learn, and to keep moving forward. Be inspired myself by Team Novonordisk, which I had the people to join. That’s why I share my journey. To show what’s possible. To support, connect, and grow, showing my weaknesses If you ever need to talk, ask something, or just share your experience,I’m here. Always open to connect 💬 And through my book, I’m also contributing to fundraising for Fondazione Italiana Diabete (FID) @fondazioneitalianadiabete supporting research and moving closer to a cure 💙 #Type1Diabetes #DiabetesAwareness #DiabetesAthlete #TriathlonLife StrongerTogether FID Endurance KeepGoing @elecampagnoliInspiring days at @attdconference Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes, one of the leading global conferences on diabetes research and technology. As someone living with Type 1 diabetes since 1999, being here is both personally interesting and motivating. Seeing the science advancing gives real hope for the future ❤️ for a 🌎 without Diabete. 🔬 First-in-human trial exploring transplantation of insulin-producing cells without the need for immunosuppression 🧬 Screening for Type 1 diabetes through autoantibodies, enabling earlier detection and prevention strategies 📊 Advances in AI and CGM data to predict glucose trends and improve insulin management 🥚 Research on nutrition and protein strategies to reduce hypoglycemia 👩‍⚕️ Increasing focus on women and Type 1 diabetes and hormonal effects on glucose control Progress in diabetes care truly comes from the collaboration between science, technology, clinicians, and people living with diabetes. Grateful to witness these advances and to be part of this community. @fondazioneitalianadiabete @leo_varroni @leo_bombi @mariella_advocate_autrice @andreinatummoloToday I celebrate 🎉 6 months since the publication of my Book: Nutrition and Sport with Diabetes (IT&EN version) #Royaties to @fondazioneitalianadiabete Thanks to each of you for taking time to get to know me, text me, call me, write me a message to share love and positivity! Thanks to my biggest supporters @paolomaresca_street @diabete_com @ida.cano @manuela6battaglia @diabetesfonds @dedoc_org @innodia_inpact @diabetescero_espanaDiabetes burden should be shared in the couple #diabete #sport #diabeteswarrior #triathlonMovement, nutrition, and glucose are deeply connected. At GlucoFit, I share evidence-based guidance on sport and nutrition, built on science, experience, and years of working with diabetes and performance — both personally and professionally. What I focus on: • Training structure and load management • Nutrition strategies to support performance • Glucose awareness during sport and daily life • Education to help you make informed choices This is not medical advice, but educational support designed to help athletes and active people better understand their bodies and training responses.

Japan was a dream trip, but also a challenge from a glucose-management point of view. Jet lag shifted my circadian rhythm, which meant different insulin sensitivity at unusual hours. New foods — from ramen to mochi, street snacks, rice bowls and salty broths — meant learning new carb profiles every single day. And walking 20,000 steps under neon lights or temple paths made glucose react in ways I couldn’t always predict. But that’s the magic of T1D on the move: you learn to freestyle through the unexpected. To observe. Adjust. Adapt. To turn uncertainty into data, and data into confidence. Technically speaking, this trip taught me a lot: • I reduced my basal during travel days and long hiking mornings. • I increased temp targets on high-carb meals (ramen I’m looking at you 🍜). • I used the jet lag window to “reset” patterns and study my responses. • I kept snacks and fast carbs always accessible (Japan convenience stores = heaven). And somehow, between shrines, sushi counters, and biking along rivers, my body found its rhythm again. In these 2 weeks I did: 🏃‍♀️ 4 runs 🚴‍♀️ 4 bike rides 🏋️‍♀️ 3 gym sessions 🥾 2 hikes 🚶‍♀️ ~20,000 steps every single day I trained in another continent, with different glucose responses, different timing, different everything — and still felt strong. This trip reminded me that Type 1 diabetes doesn’t stop adventure. It asks for a bit more planning, a bit more listening, and a lot more self-trust. But once you embrace the rhythm, it becomes part of the journey — not a limitation. Japan challenged me. But it also proved once again how powerful, adaptable, and resilient the T1 body can be. 💙✨
