#241: Fighting As A Professional MMA Athlete In Cage Warriors, While Living With T1D, with Conor McCarthy

The insuleoin Podcast - Redefining Diabetes

In today’s episode Eoin chats with Conor McCarthy (@conormccarthy88).

Conor is a Mixed Martial Arts fighter from Dublin, Ireland, who is now the Senior Irish Welterweight Champion of the sport, and recently made his Cage Warriors professional debut in Rome, Italy - where he beat a very experienced fighter on his home soil.

Conor was also only diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2021, which makes his continued achievements that much more impressive.

In this episode Conor speaks about:

• What set him apart from his competitor in Rome.

• How he manages his blood sugar during training, fights, and fight camps.

• What it takes mentally, to be a professional fighter.

• Why he competes in mixed martial arts.

• & how to strive to be the best at what you do.

• + much more!
