Hiya!
I was diagnosed a year ago (Jan 2017, happy anniversary to me) with Type 1. I'm 26...
So I've always been really active, however in the past year due to diabetes related complications, I had to cut down on the exercise.
I've started getting back into training again (both running and...
Hi friends,
I was watching tv with my kids and accepted a little piece of cake and some pork jerky (which will have some sugar in it). I know that's not optimal, but it was tiny amounts. I did a quick test (probably about 1hr after eating) and was 8.9. That's a bit higher than I'd expected, so I...
Hi!
I did 2 hard(ish) runs today and my BG keeps crashing down even though I havent taken any Novorapid today. I keep spooning jam in to my mouth but it raises BG levels just slightly.. I have counted that I have taken about 350 Carbs in the last 4 hours and still my meters shows values around...
Two questions for my informed friends here!...
1. Can/does strength training (no cardio) cause RHers problems with insulin response/secretion post-exercise? I ask as even after short sessions of lifting things I feel shaky and very responsive to carbs after..
2. My dietician suggested I find...

Hello everyone,
I was diagnosed Type 2 in June 2017, my blood test showed readings of 92 mmol/mol and my cholesterol was 5. Decided not to take Metformin and go low carb and exercise route!
Just had my 3 month blood test end of September, the readings were 49 mmol/mol and 3.8 cholesterol.
I...
Yesterday I completed a 100 push-up a day challenge. I set this goal alongside my regualar weight and cardio training as an extra, and did not treat this as part of my regime.
At first I was doing 100 push-ups in 10 minutes. The protocol was 30 push-ups with an active rest of front kick, side...
Hi all,
Just looking for experience with basal management and exercise (I'm personally on MDI but I think this also affects pumpers) - and actually more importantly, on days that you don't? I usually exercise Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays (although will sometimes miss out a day) and have never...
I find it really difficult to lose weight. I am 10 stone 13 (not sure if this is overweight or not?) But I have been this weight for years and I struggle to lose weight and I find exercising very tiring though I want to be more active, I just struggle to find the motivation to do so.
Hello, I'm fairly new to these forums but was diagnosed with pre-diabetes some years ago. I've been inspired by the advice here and have recently adjusted my diet towards lower carbs. So far I haven't seen any reduction in my HBA1c level, but this may be because I need to take the carbs even...
Hey everyone,
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in August of last year (11 months ago) and was given Abasaglar and Humalog for treatment. I was taking between 15-20 units a day and nce my blood settled I was taking between 5-10 units a day which still isn't a lot. However a few months ago I...
I have insulin resistance. My insulin level fasting is 24/25. I've been having trouble losing the hundred pounds I put on for more than a year now. I eat pretty healthy and I do exercise, sometimes I eat carbs. But when I do or don't eat carbs it doesn't make much of a difference. I went to a...
I'm starting at the gym tomorrow morning at 10am. I am on a pump and haven't exercised for as long as I can remember. I've booked a session with a personal trainer to get me started so it could be a bit full on. I'm female, 48, Type 1 for 30 years.
Any advice on what to eat for breakfast? I...
Hello all :)
My name is Brianna and i live in Australia. I am 20 and have had Type 1 diabetes since i was 4, so i guess you could say i haven't known any different.
So i get really frustrated with working out as a diabetic. I really enjoy going to the gym and working out however my diabetes...
I would be grateful for any personal recommendations please! I have seen NHS nutritionist but feel as if it would be useful to see someone who really understands Type 1s. I believe low carb or ketogenic is the way to go but despite having stable blood sugars when fasting, it all goes wrong...
What sort of things do you do for exercise? I am discovering that exercise is so key to me getting my BG under any sort of control.
I ride a bike, walk and am part of a morris side (only just starting to dance, played in the band for the past couple of years). I wear one of those Vivofit...
Hi everyone I am new to this page. I'm Georgia I have been diabetic since I was 8. Recently I have started to look after myself and go to the gym and take my carb counting more seriously as I am on injections and carb count. I am finding it SO difficult to give the correct insulin doses before...
