HypoActive | Promoting an active lifestyle for type 1 diabetics

At HypoActive, we believe diabetics should harness their insulin injected engines.

Exercise promotes a whole range of health benefits, and for diabetics, this is especially important. But it's not easy. It can be complicated and frustrating. No one wants hypos (or hypers) during or after exercise. We at HypoActive want to encourage you to exercise with confidence, using the latest exercise and diabetes management theory, sharing our and others' experiences and providing you with unique opportunities to push yourself in the company of others with type one diabetes. We welcome anyone who is interested in exercise regardless of their current level of activity and experience.

Stingrays Go The Distance

1 March, 2010 - 09:41 — laura

2010 saw the fourth HypoActive MS MegaSwim team take to the water. Dubbed the 'Stingrays' the team stuck it out despite being down 3 swimmers due to injury!

Approaching lightning saw the pool evacuated for 20 minutes in the early hours of Saturday morning - many swimmers being glad of the reprieve. Once the danger had passed the swim recommenced and our intrepid team continued to smash out the laps.
