At HypoActive, we believe diabetics should harness their insulin injected engines.
Exercise promotes a whole range of health benefits, and for diabetics, this is especially important. But it's not easy. It can be complicated and frustrating. No one wants hypos (or hypers) during or after exercise.
The mission statement for HypoActive is: to inspire and enable the Type 1 community to live a more physically active lifestyle.
We are your peers. We too go through the same challenges surrounding exercise in a busy lifestyle while managing type 1 diabetes. We welcome anyone who is interested in exercise regardless of their current level of activity and experience.

HypoActive Run Club: Social Run No 11
Event Date:
27 May 2012 John Thompson is the amazing Type 1 runner who organises these events and he's doing a fabulous job. The HA Social Runs are really taking off and attracting a great range of people living with Type 1 diabetes who welcome the chance to train, or even just meet with other type 1s in an informal atmosphere.
The next Run is in Westerfolds Park in Templestowe, usual 9.30 am SHARP start, but as always if you want to just turn up and chat about exercise strategies or eat diabetic food such as cake from the cafe, you are very welcome to join the crew at around 10.30 am.
RUN MELBOURNE - HypoActive Team Event
Event Date:
15 Jul 2012 Our next running event is The Age Run Melbourne, which offers participants a half-marathon, a 10 km run and a 5 km run or walk starting along St Kilda Road and finishing at Birrarung Marr.

Andrew Baker's Melbourne Ironman Triathlon Triumph
9 May, 2012 - 19:31 — gavin.wrightLast month, Andrew achieved the remarkable feat of finishing an Ironman Triathlon. That's 180 km on a bike, a 3.8 km swim and a 42.2 km run (a marathon) - all in one day. He's been kind enough to spend some time writing up his experience in two reports. The first one reads simply like this: 'I entered the 2012 Melbourne Ironman Triathlon. I finished. It was good.' Awesome.
