Bob Sharpley’s passion for cycling played a crucial role in managing his type 2 diabetes diagnosis and achieving new milestones. Diagnosed in September 2022 at age 61, Bob had just retired and was in the midst of a major home move. Despite a family history of diabetes, Bob, an avid sports enthusiast, had never been diagnosed until then. The diagnosis came as a shock, prompting Bob to take immediate action. He revamped his diet, opting for healthier choices like cauliflower crust pizza and increased water intake, which significantly lowered his blood sugar levels. Exercise became a cornerstone of his management plan. Inspired by a friend with similar health challenges, Bob committed to cycling 1.5 hours daily. Starting with short walks, he gradually built up to cycling 20 miles a day. By the end of 2023, Bob had cycled 7,000 miles, surpassing his previous records. His renewed dedication not only improved his health but also allowed him to lead a local cycling team and run a charity, Bike Bank, which refurbishes bikes for those in need. Bob’s journey underscores the importance of physical activity and lifestyle changes in managing diabetes and achieving personal goals.
