Message: <blockquote data-quote="JosieMcGreal" data-source="post: 2130556" data-attributes="member: 508769">Hi, I've been a Type 1 since May this year. I've always been active, I currently do pole dancing which I've done for a few years and I've started running again since finding out I'm Diabetic. I've been thinking about working towards doing a half marathon. I'm just wondering if anyone here has done one and what extra precautions do you need to take being Diabetic? I was thinking about doing the Great North Run with my husband to raise money for Diabetes. I feel it would be such an achievement if I did it and it's a year away too! I run regularly upping the miles every so many weeks. Currently easily doing 3 miles consistently. I'm still in the honeymoon stage too but I do seem to be having a lot of hypos as I've not got to grips with adjusting my insulin/food for running. I'm going to ask my Diabetic nurse when I next see them but thought I would probably get better advice here!Is this doable? Thanks in advance for any advice!</blockquote>
