Diabetes And Beer
Does your diabetes rule you? are you still able to fit in the odd amber ale? have you given up drinking becuase of diabetes? have you got any intersting stories of hypos and hypers due to drinking? Beer has been the hardst bad habit i have to kick!See More
"Yea, it really depends on the workouts so I was just giving an example. Normally I'll have oatmeal or something similar before a workout (covered completely), lower basal and for the first hour I'll be "riding" the carbs from…"
"I only have one ski trip under my belt as a Type 1, but I do have a lot of long triathlon workouts. I'm on the Pod and have a Dex as well. For long workouts I normally decrease basal 35% and then eat/drink carbs throughout the entire workout…"
"Gina, I workout with my Dex all the time and generally either put it in the little pocket on my running/water belt (in back) in the back of my jersey when cycling. I use the Amphipod RunLite belt for my runs if that helps."
"I'm out of town right now, but I'll snap a pic and sent through. I'm planning a 10k+ bike trip next Summer so have been experimenting with ways to average over 500 miles a day but still be safe with checking BGs, etc. "

Terry Keelan said… - Hey Todd,
I'll be in Cedar Park from December 16 through 19 visiting my parents and my sister. I don't have a lot of time, but maybe we can get together for a 3 or 5 mile run, or just a beer, on the 17th or 18th? I won't have access to a bike. Contact me here or via email at terrykeelan (at) ca.rr.com.

- Yeah, I'm familiar with the IronMan Competitions... I have several friends who do it every year... Very cool! I'm not the type of person to let this stuff get me down... :) Although, I hear that flu and colds are much more difficult on people like us so I'm a bit nervous this flu season... Overall, it is nice to know there are plenty of sources out there to assist!

- Ha! Jinx! Wait, I guess you won that one... hehehe... If you are in Houston, definitely let me know.

- Hey there Todd! I see you are relatively new to the T1 family like me. Are you planning on getting a pump?
On another note, I used to live off So.Co. but had to move to Houston for better paying gig. :) Miss it up there, but not the traffic! lol

- Hey Todd,
Thanks for the comments. I have tried other forms of carbs, including gels and beans. I think I'll go back to them because they're lighter to carry and easier on the stomach.
My parents live in Cedar Park. They're transplants from Pennsylvania. When I visit them this fall, perhaps we can meet up for a run or a ride?

I was browsing the Austin Fit website because I am signed up to start my half marathon training there this Saturday and I saw that you sometimes are an assistant coach. Are you going to training with the Austin marathon group starting Saturday? I would love to meet you and have a contact there if you are training with them this year. I will be in the slow half marathon group, I was only fast in very short sprints.
