    Bodybuilding with T1?

    I competed in strength sports with my diabetes, there's nothing to say that you can't do it. Monitor your blood sugars before and after exercise, and you will be fine. train like you used to do, eat a healthy diet and train, check your levels. Good luck

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    The pump was the best thing that I have had to treat my diabetes, takes some work but it will be worth it, hugs for the yo-yo numbers.

    A very belated Morning from the Sunnyish North, I had the misfortune of a rather nasty Hypo last night (12:30 if anyone is interested) which resulted in my sitting on the downstairs WC, for some reason I couldn't stand up, wondering why I was there with rivers of sweat flowing off me! I was so...

    Morning all from a slightly warmer North. After only a slight skirmish (bruised ego) with doomy, a 7.9 was petulantly thrown at me, and it sat on the bench seething that I had the temerity to prod it into life! I am trying to revise for my NEBOSH Fire Risk Management exams tomorrow and it's not...

    Morning all from a damp, coldish North I hope you all had a good weekend full of frivolity. I have not been too well, holding Man Flu at bay still, but feel that if I let my guard down it will pounce, like coiled piece of string! A uninspiring 8.2 greeted me after a short tussle with the meter...
