Animas, who are behind the Animas Vibe insulin pump with integrated CGM, are holding a Sports and Exercise weekend in May, at Loughborough University. At the event you can hear from Dr Ian Gallen, Consultant Physician and Endocrinologist, as he presents on diabetes, exercise and sports, improving performance and glucose control. Participate in practical exercise workshops —Cycling (Gym based), Circuits, Badminton or Volleyball. You can then share your experiences and learn from others in a workshop setting before meeting the healthcare professionals. The team will be there to assist and guide you in theory and practical sessions. Be inspired by the motivational speaker, Chris Southwell, a professional free ride snowboarder, living with Type 1 diabetes.
Anyone over 18 years old with Type 1, who is on either insulin pumps or injections is welcome to come and play! Animas & Exercise Weekend, Loughborough UK 10-12 May 2013. Email: sportsday@its.jnj.com
