Make content about: Eleanor found her balance at parkrun
Eleanor spent years struggling to balance running with type 1 diabetes before finding how parkrun worked for her.
This story
Eleanor started doing parkrun at university and continued running most weeks for ten years while living with type 1 diabetes. Running often caused unpredictable spikes and drops in her blood sugar, leaving her frustrated. After swollen ankles forced her to stop exercising, her insulin resistance soared until returning to movement restored her balance.
Where you could take it
Join Eleanor for a weekend 5k run to see how she monitors her blood sugar and manages her routine on the course.
