New video from Pro cycling team Novo nordisk - all riders have type 1 diabetes and compete in World Cycling Their video Team Novo Nordisk: Ride For Your L1fe is well worth a watch also, especially if you like cycling.

Only managed 1.3lbs this week which has felt a bit deflating after the last few weeks loss being a bit higher... Not knowingly changed anything with my diet/exercise so was expecting a better result but sometimes it just be like that! Ah well onwards and upwards to try again for the next week...

I am using a Cannondale CAADX 105 2020 - Cyclocross Bike https://www.cannondale.com/en/bikes/road/cyclocross/caadx/caadx-105

Monday 9th - Saturday 14th So this week I had to have 2 days off the bike on Wednesday and Thursday due to illness but it can be good to have rest days so it wasn't too bad. Still over the 4 days I did ride I managed to cover 60.33 miles in the gym so it wasn't a complete loss! Sunday 15th...

I raised the same query previously on the below thread with info on how to access the app / forum https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/diabetes-forum-app.89308/post-2641092

This week I have managed to lose 2.9lbs despite feeling ill and not being able to go to the gym or get on my bike the past 2 days! Hopefully now I am feeling a little better I can go to gym tonight to resume my training and also planning to do my first 50km ride since at least 2 years before...

Monday 2nd - Saturday 7th October So during the week days my cycling time is pretty much all done in the local gym due to work and family commitments (6 kids keep ya busy!). This isn't a bad thing as it allows me to introduce a couple of days of structured training like hill climbs, sprints...

Well done @IanBish on the loss Since last Friday I have lost 5lbs which marks the 1st stone since 3rd September and also brings me just below the 220lb / 100kg mark which were my first two targets to hit since diagnosis! Now onwards for the next target of 200lbs just because it's a nice round...

Hey thanks for this suggestion. I wasn't a member of the forum so have signed up and put my story over there also to reach a different audience.

As suggested and also so I can keep a log throughout October I have decided to put my cycling diary into a new post so I have a record of what I have achieved. I hope to update this every Sunday or Monday with my previous weeks progress of cycling 300 miles during the month of October for UK...

Decided to add on to my existing thread rather than starting a new one! So today marked the start of October which is also the start of the UK wide cycle ride for diabetes UK where I plan to cover 300 miles on the bike over the month of October ( minimum 10miles each day!) whilst raising money...

I am down 3.8lbs since last Friday so feeling happy with that. I started my diabetes weight loss on 1st September with 236lb and am down to 224.2lb this morning... so close to that 1stone but it just doesn't want to shift! First real target for me is to get to about 100kg (220.4lbs) which is my...

I so desperately need to get a Garmin again... used to have one a few years ago but it was nicked along with my bikes out of my shed and due to cost not replaced it since. Especially if you can connect things like this to it. Nice to know. Thanks [emoji120]

I use this too

Actually thinking of this more.... this would give the perfect excuse to stop more often and grab a photo of the ride I am doing as I go along! [emoji106]

Cheers for the reply... I have had a hypo so do know what it feels like when it comes on so know what to expect should it start to get too low, but as you say testing regular, possibly more than every couple of hours should hopefully prevent the hypo! I did consider the Libra during testing...

Hi all, I love to cycle and have previously taken part in 50 mile, 75 mile and 100 mile events in the past which included a few stops for refueling and refreshing. Since lockdown I have not been on the bike as much as I would of liked... I was only diagnosed in the middle of August with type...
