[QUOTE="Tom-stick, post: 2659136, member: 535185"] I began running at the beginning of the year, and to say that maintaining my Bg levels has been difficult is an understatement. Having said that, it is far from impossible. It's a never-ending learning curve, but the benefits of running far outweigh the discomfort of managing T1D while exercising. I'm fitter, my insulin sensitivity has improved, and my overall mental health has improved significantly - all of which play a role in diabetes! @NoKindOfSusieI, too, experienced dramatic drops in my levels and thought I would never be able to run more than 5k again as a result. However, after much trial and error, I'm getting better at managing my levels on a run and am now successfully running 10k-18k with a half marathon planned for January - it's taken me a long time to get to this point. There are numerous options available to you, but the key is to find what works best for you. It will take time, but it is doable :) [/QUOTE]
