AcT1vate: a weekend for Type Ones on Exercise and Diabetes

Event Date:

12 Feb 2010 - 14 Feb 2010

DA-Vic and HypoActive bring you AcT1vate! An interactive weekend workshop to give you the confidence in making exercise part of your daily routine.

This weekend for people with type one diabetes in Victoria was inspired by the very successful US-based Diabetes Training Camps, and the Perth based Diabetes Fits weekend.

The weekend is designed for you to come away with a variety of tools that will enable you to:

enhance your exercise experiences
prepare for more challenging events
have a greater understanding on how exercise impacts your diabetes management
realise the benefits exercise has to your overall health and diabetes management!

The weekend will cover:

Running, swimming and cycling sessions run by experienced coaches
Nutrition and carbohydrate counting
Physiology of exercise and diabetes
Practical tips and tools for approaching a wide variety of activities
Time with a trainer to make a personalised exercise program
Insulin pumps
Inspirational speakers who have type 1 diabetes and are excelling at their chosen sport

Exercise sessions will be organised according to fitness level and experience. That means that anyone who has bought a bike for the first time won’t be in a training group with anyone who’s done the Tour de France!

I'm not really normally moved by educational posts, but yours seriously made me think about your points of views. You have undoubtedly provided important and sound insights which are logical and fascinating. I privately care to write about Truck hoists. And so I am aware of the effort it requires forming an informational post similar to this. Thanks for sharing with us your nice work.
