Dependent on whether they put you on medication ,and which type,you will have to carry food and water to stop any chance of hypos during the climb.Test bloods regularly to check. Now Fergus would be the one to really advise on this one I think.

Hi claridge,

If you're new to type 1 and exercise then the Three Peaks Challenge will certainly be an 'in at
the deep end' experience.

Take a look at http://www.runsweet.com/.

Good luck,
timo.
