HypoActive

Official team report and a first timer's report now available...read on!

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.

Kris Freeman was the United States' best hope for a medal in the cross-country skiing events at the Winter Olympics.  He also has Type 1 diabetes. Unfortunately, the fortnight didn't go to plan - despite four years of careful preparations.

Inspired by the very successful US-based Diabetes Training Camps, and the Perth based Diabetes Fits weekend camp, HypoActive and Diabetes Australia - Victoria can proudly announce the launch of AcT1vate, a weekend dedicated entirely to helping you get the most out of exercise while managing type one diabetes. 

The Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA) is conducting a study into the factors that prevent effective diabetes management.
