Hi James,

Have a look at Runsweet, it was set up for people like yourself who are into sport and have type 1 diabetes:

Hi there,

Runsweet is a great resource.
Also take a look at www.teambloodglucose.com and consider joining the Sporty Type 1's FB group.
Another site to look at: www.excarbs.com

You might like to watch this movie that might help with the basics too.

Also, there is the Diabetic Athlete's Handbook, which you can buy on Amazon. It's really handy to keep as a reference. And it has tons of examples of athlete's routines.
