Olympic rower Sir Steve Redgrave talks about the condition that nearly robbed him of his fifth gold medal.

Diagnosed with diabetes at only 35, he thought his rowing days were over, until doctors told him he could go on training.

In an exclusive interview, he talks about living with diabetes, his latest sporting injury, and how at heart he's "just an ordinary guy who went quite quick in a boat".
