Your question is impossible to answer I'm afraid @jasper1969.

Evidence does suggest that running with high BG's for prolonged periods can cause significant cardiovascular damage in diabetics. It would be in your interest to talk with your health care team to work out how to reduce your BG levels.

Are you in regular contact with your diabetic care team?

A warm welcome to the forum by the way

How long have you been a T1D Jasper? Have you attended a carbohydrate counting course or met with a dietician before?

As a T1, you have the ability to adjust your insulin to suit the food you wish to consume. But it's important to apply common sense to this approach - 'eating what you want' is very different to 'being able to eat what you want'. Moderation is key and having a solid understanding of what is good for your health and your BG is critical in successful management of our condition.

About 12 months and haven't seen a dietitian yet

Have you seen an endocrinologist yet? 13.6 is kinda high. Do you get A1C's done?
