Following a consultation, his doctor told him he was 10 kg (22 lb) underweight and he had all the symptoms of diabetes. He was taken to hospital after being diagnosed with glycaemia.[3]
Ambrose turned professional in 2015 as part of the Team Novo Nordisk team, whose members all have diabetes. In February 2015, he won the second stage of the Tour de Filipinas.[4]
