That's brilliant ElyDave! Congratulations!
How did your BG management go? What did you eat to keep you going?

I wondered what was causing the hold up on the M180. :)

Wow what an inspirational story! I've only recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and am now on insulin 4 weeks down the line, they now unsure if I'm type 1 so waiting on test results. I'm also an active athlete, having completed a 50 mile run across the South Downs in April followed by an ironman in June. I got diagnosed 5 days before my ironman and was advised not to do it but as I'd done all my training and worked so bloody hard I wasn't going to pull out no way! I completed it fine anyways. Now however I'm starting to realise how complex this illness is, and I'm struggling a great deal to come to terms and accept it. Reading ur blog has totally restored my faith that once I have everything under control I will be back out in the field again doing my favourite 'extreme' racing. Glad I joined this site now I was having a rubbish day!! Thanks for the interesting read and a massive well done for ur achievement :)

It takes a bit of time, but if you can put the discipline into training for a 50 or an IM, you'll pick it up and get there eventually. I was like you, diagnosed June 2013, 7 weeks before an attempted 70-miler last August and three days after a 23-mile fell race. Didn't make the 70 that time due to a knee injury at about 25 miles.

Iron Man - very impressive, I'd love a bash at something like that but my swimming is awful.
