Hi. does anyone have any experience of doing the C25K who is a diabetic using insulin please?

[SusieSusie]

I've been trying to get fit and started the C25K today. I have lots of support for my diabetes and I';m used to juggling insulin while dieting, but adding in more exercise is new for me. Any suggestions gratefully received! Susie

The only person I know who has diabetes and exercises uses an insulin pump. I am sure there must be someone here who can give you their experience.

Thanks, I do hope there will be someone who will be willing to share their experiences. Unfortunately I don't use a pump which would really help, so just wanted to see what others are doing.

not diabetic myself but a firned of mine has insulin dependant diabetis but runs regularly.

she has no problems with her diabetes and usually well controled. i know when she is running she makes allowances for the running and during a recent parkrun she stopped running to check her blood glucose as she felt unwell. she definatley isnt on an insulin pump. if your control is uually good i would think you would be fine. try speaking to your GP or endochrinologist to get specific advice.

I will try asking her more detail when i see her next week and will try to post back.

good luck wit the programme x
