]]> Comment on My Diabetes by Dan http://diabeticrunner.com/glucose-central/#comment-44001 Dan Tue, 12 May 2009 19:51:33 +0000 http://diabeticrunner.com/glucose-central/#comment-44001 Jamie, I've been running for the past year & a half and only just the past few months have great wind and my runs are now fun. I am Type 1 and use a pen for my insulin. I have a 24 hr. insulin and a rapid for meals. Where I have problems is my crashing during a run. I need to constantly have an intake of Carbs but that doesn't necessarily work all the time. I am going to be running my first mini marathon at the end of May. It's a 12km trail run in the mountains. What would you suggest in order to keep my sugars up. I can't seem to find the right gel or drink. BTW, my best ever A1C is 6.8. My worst 9. Recently my daily sugar levels have been anywhere from 6.8 to 18.9. This is much better compared to 2 years ago when I was diagnosised with diabetes. Also, I love the site. I'll be keeping my eye on this one. Jamie, I’ve been running for the past year & a half and only just the past few months have great wind and my runs are now fun.

I appreciate it. Well, I did it, but I have to exercise. That's just how my Doctor is (and, I suppose, I am too). Anyone can marathon. All you have to do is get out there and train for it, learn about your self, and sign up for one! (or in mycase, 2, before I got it right!) There was no sight in my life (recently, at least) that was as sweet as seeing and crossing the finish line in Las Vegas! Thanks for the shout out, Jamie. I appreciate it.

Just wanted to thank you for the diabetic runner challenge. I haven't posted much, but it really did help me to know that there were others with "D" out there running. I wound up with a total of 623 miles for 2008, but some of them were walking as evidenced by the 13:00 min/mile pace that my Garmin says I averaged. But hey, I'm faster than my couch, and that in and of itself is a victory! I've had rough spots, illness, etc., but your challenge is part of what inspired me to get back out there. As you put one foot in front of the other, know that you have helped others along the way. That is a REAL victory! Hi Jamie, hope you can get back to running soon.

I was reading the latest update from Marathon Chris and noticed your blog amongst her subscriptions. I know just a little about type 2 diabetes and GENERALLY as far as I can make out it is avoidable through diet and exercise. But, in my ignorance, I thought a person was either born with type 1 or not - period. I have read through your blog and some of the comments on this page and it has opened my eyes and encouraged me to find out more about both types. Thank you all for some interesting reading and I look forward to reading more. Hey Jamie,

I slipped as well and am trying to put myself back on track. After almost 2.5 years of not needing to be on medication, I am back on. It just inspires me to work harder and get back on track. I know you can do it, all of have your back. Jamie, don’t worry on it too much on the past look to the future. I slipped as well and am trying to put myself back on track.
