Can You Do Running When You Are Diabetic

[Julia McCoulough]

Are you allowed to go running when you are diabetic please because I was told to go swimming and walk as my exercise I wasn't told to go running

Of course you can unless there's another medical problem that prevents you from doing so, there's a few type 1's on the forum who do runs and marathons, hopefully they'll be along soon to advise.

For the time-being have a look at Runsweet, it's a great resource for type 1 who enjoy exercising:

Of course you can - just as @noblehead has said.

Watch the movie below for the basics.
Www.runsweet.com is a great resource, and look up www.teambloodglucose.com too. Join the T1 Facebook group to pick the brains of a few regular runners. (There will no doubt be a few along here soon to give some advice too)
Happy running!

Of course you can. Diabetes doesn't stop you doing anything. You might need to do a bit more planning and think about a few more things blood sugar related, but it doesn't stop you.

Shawn Forrest is an Australian elite marathon runner and has type 1.

I'm in the UK.
Will the race be in the morning or afternoon?
I really must be home for tea time so a morning race would suit me best.

You can do any exercise you want

Sorry, it's at 2pm. But you can have a cup of tea on the 24 hour flight home.

197 people ran in my local Parkrun last WE. I placed 3rd overall on age graded scores. Yes, diabetics can run, but most the most successful I know routinely ignore medical advice. Doctors doesn't know nearly as much as you think.

Without taking anything away from Shawn Forrest's fantastic achievements, he is only recently diagnosed, and possibly still a honeymooner. Before you try to copy the strategies of any diabetic athletes, recognise that many who perform well in their 30s and 40s go seriously downhill after the age of 50. Diabetes is a long game. Do what works long term. The techniques that got someone a sub 3 hr marathon at age 40 are not necessarily the ones you want to base your own treatment on.

Oh yes, if you want to go running, but any exercise is great for the mind and the body, there are many different types of exercising. Housework, gardening, diy etc, enjoy what ever you do.

Hi MangosteenElbow. According to the online results from that meet, there were no female participants in the race. How many of the males who ran were T1?
