the air. 50 to of public war. there are 365 days in the air. soto pick that date, on the air. soto pick that date, on the first day that kate and william were going for something that is actually important and positive. which is the earth shot price seems quite deliberate. this series, we gathered from netflix, is due to air from december eight. we think there are six programmes, various peak people are spending. if the trailer is anything to go buy it is going to be pitched as a very much a megan versus kate. and that will be very unedifying. to monetise your alleged privacy that you wanted when you are going to leave. i think they're going to leave. i think they're going to leave. i think they're going to try and explain to the world and justify why they left. why they are behaving and conducted themselves in the way they do. and try and get more people on—site. i think it is very sad. and watching three months after the queens death.

11:48 pm
just got diagnosed with type one diabetes. er, which flipping sucks... ..allaround. type one diabetes is when you have a pancreas — and you watching most likely have a healthy working pancreas which produces insulin — whereas mine, the beta cells got attacked, and then, stopped producing insulin. so, when i eat any food — carbohydrates, for example — the sugar in the carbs makes my blood very thick and full of glucose, which is not healthy. and i remember walking home from work one day, and the vision in front of me was really blurry. and that's where i would start rubbing my eyes and try and clear the vision, but it wouldn't go. and that happened all in that week, and just kind of got worse and worse, and worse. and that's when i went, "ok, i need to go to the gp."
11:49 pm
and i handed in a urine sample, and i gota call the next morning saying, "go to a&e now!" swimming trunks, shorts... dj equipment, of course, this is the... ..hardest thing. just imagine that the whole set relies on these two usbs. like, if these get lost... if the condition isn't managed with insulin injections, then things can get serious and i could run the risk of having a leg amputated, or even going blind. meaning when i'm travelling, i have a lot more to remember to pack than just my socks and swim shorts. so, the sharps box for the injections, when i change them, after every time i'm using them now. the sensor, as well, just in case the one on my arm gets damaged, and i need a replacement. and then, we've gotta take 90 needles, as well. i'm a huge person when it comes to routine — routine and diabetes, type one, in my opinion, is the...
11:50 pm
it has to be — you have to have a routine to give you the best levels, in my opinion. when you travel, you are completely at the mercy of everything else. you aren't in control. i'm making my way from london to ibiza, where i've been booked to dj at one of the last major parties of the summer season. there'll be plenty of late nights, alcohol, and unhealthy food to contend with — and they can all have an impact on my blood glucose levels. so, let's see how i get on. the first hurdle, when travelling, is airport security. wherever i go, my insulin and needles need to come with me, even on planes. so, whenever i'm flying, i have to make sure i have a letter from my doctor and any prescriptions to hand before boarding my flight. two—and—a—half hours in the sky, and it's goodbye, gloomy london, and hello,
11:51 pm
blue spanish skies. the first thing i like to do when i go somewhere new is to have a look around. and i found a way to do that whilst keeping my blood glucose levels in check at the same time — and that's by running. for me personally, the best way to see any place is to run. i'm not going to get an uber or a taxi through the city to somewhere new. i'd rather run to it. you see all the streets that, you know, are notjust the motorway to one place, notjust the main road. and then, in terms of my diagnosis, runningjust balances out my levels so well, it's the best thing for it. you wake up in the morning, the adrenaline from naturally waking up, your blood sugar levels just go up instantly. then you're looking at what you'll have for breakfast — whether it's fruit or oats, or whatever — all that stuff contains a lot of carbs. i can have that, then go for a run, as long as it's like a 4—5—mile or longer, kind of, consistent pace,
11:52 pm
longer run, and itjust naturally takes it down to the right levels. it's like the perfect medication for me that doesn't involve needles. today's run has taken me to es vedra. legend has it this rocky outcrop is the gateway to the lost city of atlantis. the best thing about this, which is different to all the other side, which has its moments, don't get me wrong, i've been deejaying here. i'm going to be a part of that culture. but this, in my opinion, is like the truth of ibiza. and the best thing is you can't get a cab up here. can't get a taxi up here. not everyone comes up here. you've got to hike or run up here. you know, i ran, and i've now earned this. i've earned this.
11:53 pm
later that night, my girlfriend and i are meeting up with some of my friends from the uk who are in ibiza for my gig. and we've got a lot of catching up to do. do you still enjoy a night out as much as you did before you got diagnosed? or is it different now? yeah, i think so. it's still, like, as fun, obviously. so, is there anything that you've cut out . of, like, completely, or is itjust like...? i i don't know, "i'lljust have - these in moderation instead of, like, how i used to eat." yeah, so it could be like, say, like, a pasta ora pizza, or, like, even tonightjust had a sandwich, but, like, a few sandwiches just cos the bread in it i knew would last longer throughout the night. so, the alcohol might go "zoom" and come back down. but knowing that i've had the bread, which is a longer—lasting carb, that will start rising when the alcohol is coming down and, like, balance itself out.
11:54 pm
it's all a balancing game, pretty much. that's how i see it. the next day, it's time to do some work. i'm heading to the location of my gig, the ibiza rocks hotel. but after a good old catch—up the night before and having more alcohol than normal, i'm feeling a little worse for wear. after a lack of sleep and riding on adrenaline, this 45—minute deejay set sees me supporting some of the biggest names in the european dance music scene, so i have to be on top of my game. so, we're about to go out on stage. we've literally got five minutes until we start the set. just checked my levels, and... ..ii.7, which is pretty high. but the risk is, if you inject
11:55 pm
yourself now, there's a high chance it could go too low during the set, and then, i'll have to down all of thatjuice. isn't the end of the world, i'm not going to die. but, yeah, just from a perspective of always being in control of it, this is one of those moments that it's kind of got control of me, you know? my name is reece parkinson, bbc radio ixtra. the gig begins, and i am loving it! but my levels are slowly beginning to climb.
11:56 pm
0h! mate. done! and... ..i3.i, all right, it's climbing. i am going to inject myself now, so let me give myself... ..let�*s say, three. three, yeah, and give an extra one for luck. over nine million people have type one diabetes globally. i'm still learning to live and travel with this condition. but what this trip has taught me is, wherever i go in the world, type one will always be there with me. it's a case of knowing not everything will be perfect all of the time. but if i treat myself with kindness, then there's nothing that will stop me seeing or doing anywhere i decide to visit.
11:57 pm
well, all of us at the travel show wish reece the very best at managing his condition. and we hope to see him playing loads more back—to—back bangers at gigs around the world in 2023. and, although the party season may be done and dusted for another year in the northern hemisphere — in the southern hemisphere, the festival season is just heating up. taking place in new zealand is the rhythm & vines festival. it was started by a group of university friends, and this year marks the 20th anniversary of the festival. situated on the waiheke estate, in gisborne, the three—day festival runs from 25—31 december.
11:58 pm
