Two questions for more experienced people with Type 1 diabetes out there, Im guessing there are pretty strange/very specefic queries and I might not get any answers!!
1/as my name suggests I play the banjo so I dont prick the 4 fingers on my left hand (as if I do it then hurts when I play the banjo) so that means I need to rotate pricking my left thumb and all the digits on my right hand....so I suppose this is not really a questions, more about does anybody else have the same situation and handle it the same way I do?
2/my main sport is swimming, Im competitive, ie I go to swimming galas, I train around 3 - 4 times a week plus have backup session in the gym. I track my times and for my main event (100m fly), and my times have got a bit slower since I was diagnosed with Typy 1 diabetes. Im about 2 - 3 seconds slower per 100m fly. Is this fairly typical for people who get Type 1 and how long does this dip in performance last for, is it typically a temporary blip or longer term?
