[QUOTE="WuTwo, post: 2066119, member: 87354"] What [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] says is totally right - so many sports are available. I was a T1 endurance rower for years, and now I love walking, sea swimming and I still row if I get the chance (although I just poddle about on the water these days). Go to [URL]http://www.runsweet.com/[/URL] - it's very helpful for advice on sports and T1, and there is a good book - The Diabetic Athlete's Handbook written by a T1, medical doctor, athlete - by Sheri R. Colberg. Lots of useful advice in there. But first and most important of all - get comfy with your diagnosis and learn your diabetes. We each have our own, and we all react differently to eg. the same foods, the same amount of the same insulin - everything. As the others have said, you'll adjust - we all did and we're no different to you. It just takes a little time, and a fair bit of effort but you'll end up with decent control, doing what you want, when you want (but always taking the diabetes with you, which is why the first thing is learning how to live together) [/QUOTE]
