My grandson was diagnosed at 18 months. There are a lot of support and information sites available that cover all situations, including sports. Definitely start with the JDRF site.Who here has it or is the parent of an athlete with it?
how do you manage it with competitions and practices etc.
I'm newly diagnosed and having a bit of trouble sometimes keeping my bg's in target...thanks
Thanks in advance for all tips and comments
I second that, and in addition I would get 4-5 people (athletes/coaches) together and tell them how to help you if your blood sugar is too high/too low - where to find things in your bag, how to measure bg, how to tell if bg is too high/too low, etc. This might help you more in an emergency than waiting for an ambulance because nobody knows how to help you. A close friend might be able to tell more subtle changes, but if he/she is not there and something happens it's always nice to have a backup-plan.There is one piece of advice I can give you based on a frightening experience. If you have someone at the gym who is a close friend - close enough to know your moods and attitudes - make sure she or he is trained on T1D and can recognize those subtle things that indicate your levels are too high or low and can intervene for you when you can't. Sometimes your levels can escalate or drop so fast that you won't be able to comprehend what is happening in time to react and help yourself. Everyone else may think you are just acting a little strange - crabby or distracted or tired. But someone who knows your personality and knows the disease will know immediately something is wrong and get help for you.
I am happy to tell you everything Jenee and I know about type 1 and the struggle with regard to implementing it into this sport Message me if you like.Who here has it or is the parent of an athlete with it?

Thank you sooo much. We are so excited to get it going strong! Jenee, her dad and me are going to a camp in October and Jenee has started the process of getting a dog. I am hoping we can raise enough to help lots of other kids suffering with this disease get Diabetic Alert DogsI was hoping you or Jenee would come along and see this. BTW, love her (new?) charity for service dogs for kids with diabetes, Jenee's Cause 4 Paws! Great cause.
