Hi All
Am just starting to get a grip with my T1 (of only 35 years!!) due to
-restarting running (now upped to 4 x week between 5 to 12k but slow)
- CGM for last 5 months (libre)
-having slowly over years kept lowering carb so now keto (but dont count macros, just carb & prot at each meal for calculating my insulin. Am on Novorapid & Tresiba)
Wondering if any others (especially women my age 60ish) find evening before food a better time to run to keep BG more stable. Not sure if this flattening BG effect that Im seeing over last week is because of running at this different time of day, or due to something else
Very pleased that my CGM is telling me my Time in Range is 81% for this week. Unheard of. Usually very up & down. And more up than down. My HbA1c according to my Libre was around 7.4%. But not sure right now what it is longer term as got a new phone and only have 11 days readings
I do struggle with info overload & have tendency to get overwhelmed. I go round in circles & get nowhere looking at the many fantastic books I hve (Dr Bernstein.. too heavy & american for me though. Bright Spots & Landmines. Think Like a Pancreas, Keto books) FB pages, Youtube etc
But now Ive decided to focus on this site as it seems to tick both my boxes (low carb & diabetes)
Any top tips & suggestions gratefully accepted.
Please point me how to use this site for the best. Assuming this would be the quickest way to make progress to ask for tailored advice on this forum rather than reading round for days and getting no-where
Thanks all
