‘You find things you enjoy about the gym and that’s the one thing I struggled with when I was old enough to be going to the gym but not recently.

‘When I used to go to the gym by myself, I would just lift the weights and use the running machine and I hate that.

‘It’s monotonous, there’s nothing enjoyable for me about that.

‘The condition has been something I’ve lived with for a long time and was diagnosed with officially when I was eight years old,’ he told the publication.

He said some of his students saw him checking his blood glucose levels one day.

They then asked questions and pushed him to be open about his battle.

‘But it wasn’t until my pupils asked questions about it when they witness me checking my blood glucose levels one time that made me realise how important it was to talk about it and help them to understand it.’
