Hi Nick Great you've set yourself a target! Sounds like you're well on the way if you're already fit and active. How have you been managing your BG's, insulin/food so far? You must have learnt a lot already. I don't know how many triathlon folk are on the forum - hopefully someone will pitch...

Hi there @RacheyEliza1, Great you're out exercising! Everyone is different just as @LizLola says. One thing that will have quite a significant effect on how your BGs behave when you exercise though is how much insulin you have on board. If you've just eaten and bolused for a fairly high carb...

EXCITED!!! Organised by PWD for PWD: the first ever 'Un-Conference' Conference! An opportunity to talk, share, listen and learn in a wholly supportive environment. Venue: Medi-City, Nottingham...

Wow! Good luck for that. @noblehead is right that www.runsweet.com is great, also try www.teambloodglucose.com and the Facebook group for sporty Type 1's that you can link to from TeamBG. You should get some good advice there too.

The final stage is here!!!!!! Five more days and the Team will arrive at EASD in Vienna! :D:D:D Tomorrow the tour takes the riders over the Italian border and into Austria for their final few days cycling. Wish them all well, and wish them good weather! @Brightside sent me a photo that showed it...

Hi there, ElyDave will come back with some great advice I know, but in the meantime, something to bear in mind is that insulin and exercise aren't happy bedfellows. Low carb does actually work really well when you exercise (though you have fuel your body and know how much energy/glucose you burn...

Sorry to hear that:(

Lol! It's all character building stuff! You started on THE toughest climb of the entire tour! You poor thing - I'm just glad the support team were there to pick you up. They're good like that:) I wonder if you're beginning to find it a little easier now your a good few days in? - Paul said it...

Quick Hi! You're all so lovely! I get a blast of positivity every time I pop my head in! I've done some running this week - I was feeling horrid after sitting at a desk for so long - it makes me feel so much better! I will take the dogs out quickly now, then back to work. Only a week left of...

Gorgeous pool, gorgeous you!x

I want to have you there next year @Andy12345 You would be just awesome and lift everyone to new heights! Hey, can you come along to the TeamBG parkrun in Birmingham on 25th Oct (I've only just posted it up on the website) I know it's MILES for you to come, but it would be so great to see...

Sounds like you've been dealt a ****** hand, and you're stuck in a downward spiral. The good news is that you are obviously bright, eloquent and have everything to offer. What do you love in life? Do you remember what you love doing? Do something crazy and set yourself a goal; sign up for...

We're at the halfway point! Almost over the Alps. @Brightside had a baptism of fire yesterday with starting his ride with the toughest day on the whole tour! Take a quick look, and wish the team well. One more week and they'll be rocking up at the EASD - the annual diabetes industry conference...

Hi ElyDave, Just out of interest your comment about HIIT and effectiveness over 6 weeks etc, what is that in relation to and which 'benefits'? I would be interested to read your data on studies on the effects of higher intensity exercise relating to diabetes over an extended period of time -...

Hi everybody!!!! So sorry I have been totally absent! I have also been totally rubbish at exercising except for the odd run here and there. My excuse is that I have been working obsessively helping organise the TeamBG mHealth Grand Tour (which has just started). I thought I would just pop my...

Hi there milly_moo, Another website to take a look at would be www.teambloodglucose.com, and follow the links to the diabetes 'kit bag'. Exercising after eating can be useful as a means of managing the postprandial 'peak' - obviously that's more geared towards someone who is eating carbs in the...

It's begun! If anyone needs a bit of inspiration to help get exercising, take a gander at the news from the first day of the mHealth Grand Tour! Regular people just like you and me achieving the extraordinary. http://www.teambloodglucose.com/TeamBG/2014_day_1_16.html

Only three days to go before the start of the epic challenge!! Live updates will appear as the riders use Instagram and post up their progress! Support the forum's very own @Brightside on his cycling challenge! http://www.teambloodglucose.com/TeamBG/mHealth_riders_2014.html

Hi bud, Sorry I've been busy and not popped on the forum for a while. Just checking you're feeling a bit better now - hoping you've worked out how to manage treating the frozen shoulders without causing side effects. Ouch! I don't have diabetes, but my husband does - T1 for approx 3 yrs. He set...

Thanks Brightside, We've got your e-mail. Make sure you include info about your ride on to Munich - that sounds amazing, and hey, with all that cycling I'm not sure you're going to need to worry too much about the beer. Don't know how many carbs in a cleavage.;)
