[QUOTE="Miklo, post: 458315, member: 92118"] The answer lies in training and it is quite simple stick to your normal routine etc and synch the training time to the acual time of even as you get closer to the date. For example a type 1 running a 400 metres who is not used to it will experience low blood sugar afterwards due to the shock of the event a trained athlete type 1 diabetes would be more regulated. Therefore in training test you blood sugar b4 commencing and myself I would not start it to low i would commence on a statice reading i.e not ready to fall or rise quickly. You should be able to get through the training if you are in tune with your type 1 and test immeadiatley after to see what effect it has. I have trained for last 30+ years and do 2 hr stints of a mix of boxing,runnning and strength training all in one sitting as I do not have time mid week with faimily committments and I always commence with 10mins mix of 10press ups 20 situps and 10 pull ups and finish with 2 * 100 press ups. This regime I have done like clockwork week in week out when younger is was twice a week and it has kept me fit and healthly this my routine so I do not have hypos. The main thing to remember competition pushes you harder so make sure you have some glucose with but if you have trained as near as you can for it which is not always easy you should have no problems. I carried a triple extension ladder 400m to a property the other day as there were access problems and could not take the van up the road. It was all uphill and windy I do not usually do this may arm was burning and my heart pumping as I am over 50 and i was hype that evening due to pushing myself past waht I am used to. Mind you I should not have carried it vertically using only arm strentgth like I was going to toss a caber. [/QUOTE]
