Hi,
I have Type 1 Diabetes ((taking Novorapid and Levermir insulin))
last May, a friend of mine died in a car crash, and a friend of his set up a foundation in him memory. I've been trying to come up with a way that i could raise money for him since. I came up with a idea for a 181 mile walk in six days, so more or less 30 miles a day. this is going to be this summer sometime. I got some people walking this walk with me that know about my diabetes. My blood sugar level is genuinly stable however i am slightly worried about miss judging my dosage on such a long walk. Obviously i am going to be taking snacks with me, and lots of them. but seriously, i have only done short distance walking since i found out i was diabetic. Im going to be training alot between now and then.
but i wondered if anyone can give me any advice cosulting, well one thing is what sort of snacks i should buy incase of a hypo ((obviously its gotta be something thats going to last for six days and preferbly something that is well compact so it wont take up too much room in my back pack)) and a estimete of how much to take with me and also any advice that you can thiink of that is worth giving me. I know this isnt really a question, but its still worth asking about
Many thanks
