All the best to you aswell

Hi, so when I was injecting, i was very cautious of what I would eat carb wise, you know I had to make it work with my running, I was learning new methods, techniques, on how to control my insulin to my running etc, it was always a learning process. The highest blood sugar reading while of been...

Hi, I rarely got night time sugar highs, probably a couple, but not as high as you would think. My old sugar went to around 9.8 not much higher than that, maybe 10.With the running situation, it's having the time, to build those miles up, I started little, but I didn't have diabetes then, I was...

Hi there, when I go out on ultra long runs, or races , il always take on food, it would only be small amount, but the food or energy I choose would consume alot of fuel, sugar etc, like maltloaf, cake slice, I would have maybe sweets to. More so when I was on insulin, but not so much now. I just...

Good afternoon, in regards with your post, I do alot of ultra marathons, and long distance runs, I started off small distance, and now I've completed 35,50,80 and 100 miles runs... Any questions let me know , thanks Dan

Hello there, off the top of my head at first diagnose my C-PEPTIDE level was at 0.06 (nmol/L) , I've always had a syringe pen, when I use to inject, I was on Novo rapid and lantus for background/night time insulin, my diet was low in carbohydrates, unless a day before or so before a long run...

Hi, first I was shocked when first diagnosed!, Especially when I had just come out the army and it had been 4 weeks, you don't think it would happen to you, I've never really heard much diabetes, not knowing the full ins and outs. But not needing insulin is incredible! I still can't get my head...

I will have to check, at my next clinic, possibly

Hi there, my diet in the army was normal, as I didn't have type 1, then so I was eating what ever was dished up lol, I was soon burning it off, training, I was running alot in the army, and in my spare time in the evenings. It wasn't till I left the army I was running longer ultra distances. I...

When I go out on a long run, I wouldn't take insulin, I never have, I would go out on knowing I'm fueled up and plenty of energy, on long distance runs, especially runs over 25 miles, my blood sugar would always be going down and not up, so roughly every 6 or 7 miles I would be taking small...

Hi, good questions! Running is something I've done for years, even before I was diagnosed with diabetes, I started off short distances, then only the last 6 years or so I've gradually built it to long ultra distances, for me I feel like my body adapted to these long distances going and taking my...

Hi there, I've been using the The Abbott Care Freestyle Lite BGM, if this is what your question is related to, it's a great bit of kit, and gives accurate readings [emoji106]
