Type one diabetes is a desease that likes to keep us on our toes, always changing the rules and making sure we are paying attention !!!  Keeping things balanced is always the priority to ensure day to day life and type one diabetes can co- exsit without complications.  But every now and again something crops […]

Over the last year I have been lucky enough to have access to Medtronic CGM to use with the 640G. And what a huge difference it has made to being able to achieve goals I have set for myself,   everything from fun running to ultra marathoning and the most important goal of all being […]

Type One Diabetes demands so much work around the clock just to stay alive.  The constant  testing,  checking, adjusting, calculating, preventing and recovering from low and high  blood sugars just to make it though a day. Not a day goes by where it’s not talked about and discussed,   involving those who live with this […]

In the last few days I have realized just how important my access to Continueus Glucose Monitoring is not only to me but also to my loved ones. Prior too, during and after the North2South run I wore CGM and to be honest without it the run wouldn’t have happened 205kms over 3 and abit […]

My body seems to have said “enough, it’s time to rest” so after taking part in the Point to Pinnacle next weekend I’m going to do just that!!!! Now the Point to Pinnacle might have […]

127 kms in two days, sore feet, media and a MiniMed working extra hard!!!! That’s been our week so far and it’s not over yet!!!! Yesterday we had perfect weather and even got a little sun burnt. Today we had wind, rain and sunshine (got to love Tassie weather). Suffering with compression blisters on my […]

So after weeks, months and years of planning we only have hours left till we start running home.  Don’t think there will be a lot of sleep tonight. Today has been spent making sure we have everything we need (and checking it twice), media commitments and personally thanking some of the wonderful Country Club staff […]

Had a wonderful days running today at the 2015 Burine 10, met some inspiring people, enjoyed some lovely sunshine (not to self wear sunscreen during North2South run), made some lovely new friends and got to catch up with some old ones.  My blood sugars are steady but on the higher side and seem to be […]
