Just graduated!! 😁 πŸŽ‰

I’ve just completed week 9 run 3, feeling very happy 😊 I have loved C25K but found it tricky at times as I have type 1 diabetes and I have had crashing blood sugars occasionally. I’ve always done exercise but never been a runner. Any experienced T1D runners out there with tips on how to manage from here?

Well done you.... :)

Have you checked the info out here... it may be helpful. Talking to your Diabetes nurse or GP too, could prove useful?

Thank you for the link, and yes I will chat with my diabetes nurse. I’m also on lots of forums for diabetes groups so I’ll check their advice too.

Where do I need to go to get the badge- I’ve clicked on the links but both are the same.

Thank you 😊

well done on your graduation. Celebration and consolidation will be your buzz words for a few weeks. Congratulations again it’s a great achievement when I graduated the first time I stayed with Laura and continued to run week 9 run 3 as I liked the support. I then ventured further as I pretty much had the same route and therefore new where my start point was I would start the app at that point and run the warm up walk on the app getting 5 mins extra of Laura then would run the warm down 5 mins which would give me 40 mins of running with Laura. I did this until I was happy to just go with Strava and my music. I am sure others will give you advice on your next steps. Happy running runner.
