Hi there
I've was diagnosed Type 1 end of March... Total shock but not surprised as I had gestational 9 months earlier... It's just that I had worked very hard to get back to a great level of fitness... But my genes are my genes ... Before I was diagnosed I set myself challenges for the next 2 years... 10k half and full marathon... I haven't stopped running in fact it's empowered me to keep going... And having the most amazing support from my running team... My question is... How do you manage diabetes and train for long distance running??? The dietitian and clinics are giving great advise but I need some real life stories to get me excited to train again... Rebecca
