Marathon and Type 2

[IZ THE LEG END]

I am runner, when I stopped I developed prediabetes and then diabetes. I have since lost 3 st 5 lbs through a very low calorie diet and returning to running. My HbA1c went from 49 to 35 and that was 1 stone ago! I have set myself a goal to run my 4th marathon and get 100 medals by the age of 50. I hope that this will keep the diabetes in remission x

Hi, well done firstly on dropping the weight and the Hb1ac results!!!

By very low calorie what do you mean value wise?

I try to limit my carbs but with a heavy training schedule this can be very difficult to maintain correct levels during and even after training... I seem to have mastered this now with the odd hiccup along the way. BG would naturally be reduced during physical activity anyway which will aid Hb1ac, I'm dropped from 68, to 38 and currently 40 as off my last review a week ago...

Good luck in collecting all those medals and keep up the good work
