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.

June Newsletter

Hi all,

With winter here the motivation to get out and active is hard to come by (as is sunlight in which to do it!) - but cold weather and rain means that snow is falling up in the hills! It's also an excellent excuse for a warming coffee and hearty breakfast after an early morning run, or spending some time cross training in the gym.
