You got quite a challenge in front of you, I'd guess. I think you're right to think that you need to start getting ready and training now, there's no substitute for not getting started on that and with you being a type 1 diabetic, you've got a lot more to handle than a regular person doing the same training.
Definitely keep yourself a log of everything. I find it very helpful for me that I can look back at what I've been doing and what effects have happened.

As far as my working out, I ended up pretty much cancelling all the weekend stuff I had originally planned. I hit the fatigue wall. It doesn't surprise me that it happened, I've been going after stuff pretty vigorously for the past month and I had a recovery week 2 weeks ago, but when you're trying to push things to limits it's pretty tough to get everything planned so that I would have hit the fatigue wall today instead of Saturday morning.
In essence, my recovery week started 2 days early.
I'm pretty happy with the progress I've made. All the push ups I've done the past month, along with handstands, have made the triceps and delts begin to show up some. I took a photo on Saturday and there's some noticeable development since the last photo taken back in early October.
