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.

Sarah Fisher has lived with type one diabetes for a number of years.

HypoActive Christmas Breakup

21 November, 2009 - 19:11 — lyndal

Hi
 
On behalf of HypoActive I would like to invite you to our 2009 Christmas breakup. This is our first official social event which has come about in response to requests from our members.  We will only be active through talking and meeting others with type one!  It is also a great opportunity for us to thank our supporters and volunteers who enable us to run the events we do for people with type one diabetes.
