Great to see you here, FDMstng99. It's great to see so many fulfilled athletic lives with diabetes. It's what rocks my world. Welcome to the group! I was born and raised in Colo. so can appreciate your hiking.

Have been diagnosed just this year with type 1. I usually do weight training about 4 days a week and love to hike. Still trying to get control of my blood sugar after I workout.

Hi, thanks for this group. I've been t1 since I was 5 (32 now). I do a fair bit of weight training and cycling, that's about it. Would like to start training for a mini-tri but need to get more motivated!
Hy Lydia, I also have those problems with my bsl after training (weights epecially) and I have lows late at night so am always going to bed a bit higher to try to prevent. I'd love to hear more about diabetic alert dogs, I'd never heard of them before now!

Hi I'm Lydia, I have had type one for 40 years and am doing great. I am a letter carrier and I work out at the gym. When I take step classes or any aerobic class I have a hard time controlling my highs and lows. Last night I was 106 on my way to the gym..so I drank a glass of milk and eat a couple of pieces of candy (my treat to myself...not glucose pills) during class I was 116...but an hour and a half after class I was 263. I'm not sure if there is a better way to handle this. I don't want to go too low.
Thanks

Road to recovery. I put 3200 miles on my bicycle this year. Feb to Oct. I took a routine stress test on Oct 28 and failed it. I then needed quadruple bypass. I had it on Dec 11th. I hope to be back running and biking like I had. Do you know of anyone that recovered from bypass to ride like I did this summer? I am planning to recover in such a way to do just that!!

Comment by KatieJane Brashier on December 7, 2009 at 7:52pm

Hey I'm Katie Jane Brashier and I am 14(and a half) years old. I have had T1 Diabetes for three years. I run Cross Country! Cross Country is my passion...my life! I love it! The most I have ever run is 4 miles, but not in competition. I hope to improve my running as I grow and I hope to someday run in marathons! And maybe....JUST maybe......I could try for the Olympics.....maybe.....it's a pretty big dream....but maybe :)
I also run track, polevault, swim, play volleyball(although the coach kicked me off of the team because she didn't want to deal with my diabetes and my diabetic alert service dog) and just about everything else! I love sports!
