I am also preparing for a half-marathon. It will be the first time I have been on an organised run. And I suppose it is a bit unusual to be starting with this type of activity at the age of 50. I used to have a terrible time with exercise causing massive blood glucose swings. So for many years I did very little exercise (I was diagnosed in 1977). But things have improved a lot with the new insulins. I have spent the last year building some muscle and getting reasonably fit. And my wife and I will be participating in the Auckland Marathon in October. I say "participating" because I suspect that it will be a mixture of walking and running
