[QUOTE="strickensocken, post: 1137092, member: 56410"] I am type 1 and have been for 25 years. There is no doubt that exercise is key to good diabetes control. I have been a runner most of my adult life and I still compete and manage to finish at or near the top of my age class (over 55!). My advice would be to forget about marathons and go for shorter runs (5k to half marathon) as they are challenging enough without putting too much stain on your body. The training can only do you good, its a great way to meet other people and it adds a new dimension and interest to getting the best possible control. With practise everything is possible. I have learnt to test blood sugar without slowing down and do all the necessary to maintain good levels during a run. Go for it and good luck! [/QUOTE]
