Shifting Gears: The 1,000-Mile Ride That Changed My Mindset on Type 1 Diabetes.

What if type 1 diabetes didn’t have to feel so unpredictable?

Shifting Gears is the story of what happened when I began asking more profound questions—about insulin, metabolism, energy, and why the standard model of type 1 so often fails to explain real life, where doing the same thing for two days in a row can get different results. What I discovered points toward a shift in how type 1 diabetes can be understood, grounded in how the body actually works rather than how we hope it might behave.
Told through a 1,000-mile cycling journey from England to Switzerland, the book weaves a travel diary with clear, accessible explanations of insulin biology and the wider forces that shape type 1 diabetes- how the Five Foundations of Health—nutrition, activity, mindset, environment, and circadian rhythm—interact with insulin to influence stability, energy, and wellbeing.
