This week on GBFM Tech, Louis Brennan is joined by endurance athlete Lukasz Kazmierski, a Type 1 diabetic who has competed at the Ironman World Championship and represented Poland at the World Triathlon Championships.
Lukasz shares the remarkable story of how a chance decision to enter a local triathlon after years photographing races sparked a journey that would eventually take him to some of the biggest events in world endurance sport.
The conversation explores how technology has transformed both diabetes management and athletic performance. Lukasz discusses his use of the Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitoring system, which allows him to monitor blood sugar levels in real time during training and racing. He also explains how the system enables his wife to remotely monitor his glucose levels, while Garmin technology allows her to track his location, providing an additional layer of safety during long training sessions and competitions.
Louis and Lukasz also discuss sports watches, bike computers, power meters, smart trainers and data-driven coaching, as well as how modern technology is helping athletes train smarter, safer and more effectively than ever before.
It's an inspiring conversation about determination, resilience and how technology is helping people achieve goals that once seemed beyond reach.
