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.
The mission statement for HypoActive is: to inspire and enable the Type 1 community to live a more physically active lifestyle.
We are your peers. We too go through the same challenges surrounding exercise in a busy lifestyle while managing type 1 diabetes. We welcome anyone who is interested in exercise regardless of their current level of activity and experience.

2010 Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge
Event Date:
10 Oct 2010 Last year 9 1/2 thousand cyclists did this 100km Sunday morning ride out of Australia's third largest city, through canefields, past theme parks and into the tourist nirvana of the Gold Coast. As part of every entrant's fee goes to DAQ and the Heart Foundation, it's a major diabetic event in Queensland and HypoActive has had a small team at the head of the ride for the last three years. HA has a member in Brisbane (Murray) and on the Gold Coast (Gavin) and both of them can be of some help with logistics if anyone is planning on travelling from elsewhere.

Join us for a casual stroll around Albert Park Lake on Sunday, October 17, as we launch our new 2010-11 HypoActive t-shirt and raise funds for JDRF.
But perhaps the best part of the day is the recovery session at the Belgian Beer Garden...

5 July, 2010 - 17:58 — monique
Early July saw long-term HypoActive contributor and type 1 diabetic Dan Seller fly up to the Gold Coast for a stab at the Gold Coast Marathon - Australia’s fastest event of this kind.
Dan rode with all HypoActive’s first six M2M teams before moving his noble bicycle slightly to one side and focusing on his feet. He’s been trying to fit a tough running training schedule into his busy week for a couple of years now, with ever improving results.
