I am getting married at the end of February and am cycling in the French Alps in June and have been trying to lose weight with a low carb diet for both events. I've seen a slight difference in body shape but am still hanging on to a spare tyre. This is still with playing badminton once a week...

I was diagnosed back in November last year and it's been a fast learning curve for me as I want to get back to normality asap. I was very active before being diagnosed (out of the blue) climbing mountains, cycling and golf to name but a few sports I did regularly. I find with golf I make sure I...

I have just got into cycling and will definitely be following Team Novonordisk for sure. I was very wary of doing any exercise once being diagnosed back in November 2012, which came totally out of the blue and had the doctors taken by surprise. I have slowly started to get back into doing more...

I have recently been diagnoses with Type 1 back in November of 2012 and have started to ride into work this week. It's a 12 mile ride taking approx 45 to 50 minutes. I have found that it has been fantastic in lowering my BG and resulting in less insulin required. I can reduce my evening shot by...

Re: Newly Type 1 & concerned about exercise Mel... what can I say... You're a true inspiration yourself. I lost about 2 stone at the start and have put it back on plus the vat! I am absolutely gutted as I'm not eating any different. It seems that there's so much advice and so many variables I...

I'm the same when BG is high. I had a hypo at 2:30am this morning. Then my sugar were all over the place all day. When they were low and about to go hypo again I was fine. Later in the day they went up, I hit the wall at work and became tired and then the angry eyes were put on. I felt so daft...

Re: Newly Type 1 & concerned about exercise My concern is ballooning up eating carbs all the time. I want to try and shift a bit of weight and did wonder about a low carb diet?! Then in turn having less insulin requirement. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Re: Newly Type 1 & concerned about exercise Thanks Sam, I'll certainly have a look for the book you mentioned. Whenever I've done strenuous exercise I've tended to test before, during and after to make sure all is good. I've been caught out on the evening dose when I've gone hypo a few hours...

I was diagnosed back in November 2012 and my HbAc1 was 120. I'm not sure how this was measured, but I have had another test done and it is reduced to 80. I was told by my consultant and diabetic nurse that it should be around the 40 mark. At least it's going in the right direction. Still a bit...

Hi there, I was diagnosed with Type 1 back in November 2012. It came totally from nowhere and the doctors couldn't believe it either. The usual signs were there, I lost 2 stone in weight, thirsty constantly, etc. Everything moved very quickly and I was advised to stop all forms of exercise until...
