[QUOTE="xoso, post: 180540, member: 32428"] Hi I'm a 51 year old recently diagnosed Type 2. As part of my exercise regime I've started running again after a break of over forty years (I used to do what was called 'long distance' running as a school kid). I'm starting gentle running three times a week with just short 1-2 mile runs but I'm hoping to build up in both distance and speed. I guess I'd like to aim at being able to take part in some 5k races or even the odd marathon. I suppose my main concern is whether running is actually a good compatible sport for diabetics. I know most runners survive on recovery drinks - I've just looked at one and its essentially just milk powder and sugar - not very diabetic-friendly! Any general advice and tips on running for diabetics would be greatly appreciated [/QUOTE]
