Blood test, as mentioned above, also gave me an HbA1c of 35. So, this week's increased need for insulin may indicate some illness, somewhere!

The abdominal pains I have been having recently really indicate a gallbladder difficulty. I run with a GP who pointed out that there is not much, anatomically, where my pains are. Even less for me as I have quite a lot of bowel missing after cancer surgery. I also have some strange blood tests...

Unfortunately, I fell over this morning whilst running with club. Quite a deep cut to left arm. I very quickly felt like a poor old man! Very handy to have a GP and practice nurse close by!

23.09 parkrun this morning which didn't spike my BG. Work that out.

Anyone have any experience of type 1 and gall bladder difficulties?

Does anyone have any experience/knowledge of gall bladder difficulties and diabetes? I have had some typical symptoms and pain. I was instructed by 111 to call my GP - not seen one for a while. It was very obvious that the questions being asked where leading up to cholecystitis et al. After...

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Where does a 48.30 10k come in exercise terms?

But it's a strange condition. I have been, so far, very lucky. HbA1c of 37. BMI of 21.5. Half marathon of 1.57.11. 10k of 48.30. No retinopathy. No neuropathy. Cancer diagnosis and treatment recently but I recovered very quickly even though the type 1 rang a few alarm bells.

Absolutely! Just being diabetic is nowhere near enough. I would score no points (and wouldn't want to).

Can I make a claim? Type 1 for 57 years. But I did run a 48.30 10k at the weekend. We are all so different. Unfortunately, nowadays you really have to score lots of points to get PIP.

I always go high. Morning, afternoon, evening. Particularly if I am trying.

48.30 10k event at the weekend. Cancer clear, probably. I have agreed to an earlier than usual scan.

Rest day today. I have still managed just over 15,000 steps. But did have a very nice lunch of olives and focaccia with a really good green tea at The Bicycle Shop.

Libre. But I checked it with meter. Not much difference.

But as usual - started with BG of 7.3 and finished with just over 10. Slow run - 55 minutes.

Just over 6 mile run with club. Croissant with cherries and quark post run. Homemade baguette for lunch - lots of carbs!

Yes. That's one of the reasons I like to keep mine low. It seems that there is more concerns regarding low blood sugars. It's been said to me that I must be hypo all the time - I'm not! It was also said that at my horribly advanced age I might fall down the stairs whilst hypo. Personal best at...

As for the mental side - I love mindless running! Not so easy on the bike - far more concentration required.

Parkrun always spikes my BG. Last 2 half marathons I managed with nothing to eat at all. Run many 10k's. Always spikes BG. But riding the bike, particularly for big mileages, less insulin and lots of food. Perhaps I am a cyclist and not a runner?
