Hello there fellow diabetics...

[Hoppo]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and was diagnosed as a type 1 on Christmas Eve 2012 after 12 months of supposedly being type 2.

So far I have managed to get my bloods under control with diet, exercise and the insulin and my latest hba1c was 36 🙂

Now trying to keep up the exercise I am doing the Bucket & Spade cycle ride in aid of Diabetes UK and would love any help anyone can give http://www.justgiving.com/darrenh99 to try and help all Diabetics

Cheers,

Darren x

Welcome to the boards, Hoppo - and glad you've found cycling too.

You might like to look at Exercise section for more ideas about sport with diabetes.

www.runsweet.com is a great resource, too, for sport with type 1 diabetes.
