Use of insulin in sport

I am curious to know what the position is with insulin taking in
sport/cycling? For diabetics of-course..

This year the Olympics have insulin banned; as it is a performance related
enhancement.

I suspect you may find that does not apply to diagnosed diabetics. Ask
Gary Hall.

In the UK, British Cycling are the governing body. They allow
the taking of insluin providing

a) it's medically necessary (ie a doctor certifies that you need it) and
b) you tell them in advance.

After that, no problems.

On of the guys in our club is a very strong Cat 2 cyclist and type
II diabetic.

In the last, and in the current olympics, one of the US swimmers, Gary
Hall is a type I.

Our gold medallist (6 of the buggers) rower (Steve Redgrave) is an insulin
using diabetic too.

And is almost as regular a feature in the BDA/diabetes UK magazine as the
calendar girls are in our local paper :-)

I stay away from anything related to the BDA. so I wouldn't know. I've heard
conflicting stories on his TYPE though. I don't suppose you know if he's T1
or T2 do you?
