I've never really been a tattoo person, but would consider one with this ink... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4587850/Colour-changing-tattoo-ink-help-people-diabetes.html Has anyone heard any more about it?

I ran my first marathon in London 2010 and I'll never forget it. I was 29 at the time, I was diagnosed with diabetes T1 when I was 4 years old. I found the training pretty challenging, not just because it's a long way but because the training is in the cold, wet winter months leading up to...

Good job @Snapsy. Nailed it!

I was a difficult start. The rain was sideways, the temperature low, it wasn't a pretty run and my GPS froze. But, Scouts Honor, I ran 5km-ish.

I hope everyone has been carbing up and getting an early night, ready for tomorrow! ;) Good luck!

If you're on Strava, I've created a group to upload your GPS runs. But, if you don't have any GPS tracking facilities, I'm sure we'll trust you! https://www.strava.com/clubs/diabetesforum

I find the the same happens to me, I come out of the water and I'm normally high, I tend to calm with the cycle but eventually drop a quarter through the run.

A few guys in my triathlon club carry bagels on their handle bars! A peanut butter and banana bagel would give a good boost, if you can manage to eat on the go.

We did this in the days leading up to Christmas at my local triathlon club. Anyone fancy doing it throughout March? The rules are simple, run a minimum of 1 mile a day, everyday in March. Of course you can run more than 1 mile if you'd like, as long as you're running everyday. Proof would be...

I've been an avid skiier for years and love it! I'm also a Type 1 Diabetic and have been since the age of 4, I'm now 35. Last week I returned from a week skiing in Morzine. From experience the cold won't really have an effect on your glucose levels, not that I've noticed anyways. As a beginner...

I'm a bit late seeing the result... Good job! You nailed it! .

Hi Max, No problem. I'm not sure where you're doing your Triathlon or if you've tried a triathlon wet suit, but they're different to a regular suit. One of the main difference being the floatation aids in the back; I was surprised how much they helped raise my body up whilst swimming. There...

Hi Max, Much like you, I've been a diabetic most of my life, diagnosed when I was 4, I'm now nearly 34, and like you I wanted to try a tri. I've completed sprint triathlons previously, but entered the Windsor Triathlon Olympic distance last month and really enjoyed it. The swim was my weakest...
