New video from Pro cycling team Novo nordisk - all riders have type 1 diabetes and compete in World Cycling Their video Team Novo Nordisk: Ride For Your L1fe is well worth a watch also, especially if you like cycling.

An interesting view of e-bike riding and managing diabetes type 2 - granted it was a small sample size (only 16 people) but e-bikes are a great choice for people who want to exercise but struggle without assistance. Would be good if a bigger study of this was done and if the findings were...

I was diagnosed at the end of August with diabetes type 2 which was a surprise but also due to carrying the extra weight for so long was also not a surprise! I went to the doctor's to finally speak to them about possibly suffering from sleep apnoea as I was finding myself more and more tired...

So I can keep a log throughout October I have decided to put my cycling diary into a post so I have a record of what I have achieved. I hope to update this every Sunday or Monday with my previous weeks progress of cycling 300 miles during the month of October for UK Wide Cycle Ride for diabetes...

Hi -- apologies if this has been answered before (sure it has!). My situation has changed. Am type 2 of twenty years. Upon recommendation, now stopped both basal and bolus injections that I was put on for the past 2.5 years. As with the combination of changed diet and exercise, my numbers are...

Hi - apologies if this has been discussed already! I'm type 2. Have a Freelibre sensor (which is a godsend). My HbA1c is 6.9. Been injecting rapid insulin for about year. Basal 5 units per day. I cycle moderate effort for 1 - 2 hours (30miles). Can go longer (but see below). I'm 13st. Have...

I've only just noticed that the heading to this section is asking for recommendations for books about diabetes, rather than books on any subject. Anyway, I've posted on a non diabetic related book before and nobody seemed to mind so I hope it is OK to do it again. I suppose there is a tenuous...

I was hoping that I would have passed it by the time I got around to creating this post but unfortunately I'm just not quite there yet. When I was diagnosed in May 2013 at the age of 54, I sorted my old bike out and started riding just three miles per day. At the time, I kitted it out with a...

Hi All, It's been a month since I was diagnosed. I am slowly getting to grips with everything (apart from the erratic tendency of my BG levels) and intend on starting to exercise. Before I was diagnosed I cycled quite a bit - up to 60 miles at a time. I need to break back in gently because I...

No escape from virtual reality. :cool:;)
