About Me

My name is Robert Hanon.  I am currently a senior at Carroll University, majoring in Exercise Science.  I have been a type one diabetic for 11 years now, and have been actively pursing exercise for at least the past 8 years.  Through those 8 years, I have picked up a lot of experiential knowledge and textbook knowledge.  The combination of the two makes me a great resource, at least I believe so.  I am currently on an insulin-pump and have been using pump therapy for 6 years now. 

My exercise of choice is cycling.  I absolutely love it.  Being in Wisconsin though, the winters are difficult as the only cycling that I can enjoy is on a trainer, in the basement, while watching netflix.  But in the spring, summer and fall you can find me going on long rides and soaking up the fresh air.  In high school I ran track and cross country, and even though I had diabetes I was the top distance runner for the majority of my career there. 

The reason why I am writing this blog is simple.  I started helping out other newly diagnosed diabetics last year, and every now and then more people ask for tips and advice.  I figured a blog would be a geat opportunity to share my experiences with more and more people.  I hope you enjoy reading these blogs.  Find me on twitter, roberthanon, or on facebook, or leave a comment if you have a topic that you would like for me to address directly.

Keep Sweating,

Rob
