    Hey

     

    Im 15

    Im in Cross Country for my highschool we run about 5 or 7 miles depending on the day

    I'm a new diabetic i have type 1 and here in a few days will be my first month of having diabetes. I never let diabetes slow down my life. I check my blood sugar before and i really should get in the habit of checking it after. Most of the time im around 110 before i run and during i tend to get low which really sucks when your running long distance but i carry g tablets when i run so i just pop a few of those while running. Im hoping maybe you can give me some advice to better control diabetes.

    Hey Adam!

     

    Of course I can. Although you could probably tell from my post that I'm not so great at it myself yet...and it's been a couple years already lol.

       As long as this isn't your first year of cross country, I think you will adjust pretty well. It's good that you carry g tabs on your runs. Do you have a pump or are you planning on getting one?

     

    Definitely ask me any more questions you have about running/diabetes.
