Well done on making the change! I've been keto for 3 years and haven't looked back. Managed to get of all my meds and get great numbers. Keep going :)

Hi .. Yep same. I run for pretty much the same reasons. I started as I was looking for something inexpensive I could do on my own without much equipment (learnt that lesson lol) to keep me fit heading towards my 50th. I have used dextro tabs in the past but not for running so will give them a...

I always take about a mile to settle in to the run before I don't want to stop all the time. Then I enjoy the run and am comfortable, in the zone. It just becomes difficult after 6 miles as though all my energy has been used up and every step gets harder and harder. Just not fun anymore.

I am a slow runner so 6 miles would take me around 1hr 20 mins comfortable, I can run 10k in 1hr 4 mins race pace. 8.5 miles would take me 1hr 50mins. If I was just going out to do 6 miles then I would be fine. The problem is longer runs where I was advised to feed before the problem started...

I am in a running club and to compete in the club standards I would need to run 10 miles in a set time. I'm 50 this year and would like to have a good time for that distance. Would also like to do a half marathon. It won't be the end of the world if I don't but would like to.

Am struggling when running over 6 miles. I've just abandoned my half marathon training plan as the longer runs were just awful and it was putting me off running altogether. I am a diet controlled T2 diabetic who does LCHF. I eat 30g of carbs a day and have a very low Hba1c. I have to run...

Thanks all. Am a bit reluctant to go to the docs but will give it a few more days to resolve and then might have to. Am doing everything I can myself in the meantime. I have a bad time with antibiotics so am trying to avoid. Teeth are now fine and it's just the boil on my back but am taking...

I wasn't going to post about this but it's still annoying me weeks later. Last time I went to visit the doctor she had read my notes about how I had turned my life around and managed to get off all my meds and am now diet controlled only. She then turned round and congratulated me on me being...

I'm a T2 diet controlled diabetic and need to refuel at 5 miles for anything over 7 miles with both an electrolyte/salt drink and I use Pip and Nut Almond Butter sachets ( https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/pip-nut-almond-butter-squeeze-pack-60006647 ) which are the rightish macros...

Am feeling rubbish at the mo and my bloods are raised (for me). I don't know if any of this is related but here goes. Some women's issues ahead fellas. I am in the early stages of the early stages of the menopause and only had one period in 10 months and then out of the blue have had 3 real...

Ah .. thanks very much for that. If I hadn't of tested I would have had no idea I was lower than the norm. I feel absolutely normal but will try to up my carbs at meals to try and raise them a little.

I recently lost a lot of weight and have put a little back on which I want to get off again. I am diet controlled and tend to run at round 4 - 5 as normal. I am now trying to retrain myself to stop overeating and am using an app and not eating until I am hungry and my food intake has reduced...

I follow a paleo diet which whilst not a strictly low carb diet is naturally lower than most. Am thinking of relaxing my grip a little and seeing what happens. I have been weighing and measuring for 2 years so will be tough to let go. Sent from my LG-M250 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I have over the last 18 months to 2 years lost a lot of weight and started exercising 5 -6 days a week. 3 months ago I took up running as well as continuing the gym to try and reduce body fat which I have. I have recently been testing myself again on and off as some runs are good and some are...

I am diet controlled and have recently taken up running working through the nhs c25k. When I was still trying to lose weight I ran fasted but now I am at goal I have found a banana an hour before and another 30 mins before running makes the run much much enjoyable. I run low and this ends me...

Can anybody help me understand this a little better as am a bit confused. These are the results from my latest Hba1c for cholesterol. Serum cholesterol: 5.7mmol/L Serum HDL cholesterol level: 1.81 mmol/L If my total is 5.7 and the HDL is 1.81 does this mean that the difference is the LDL?

Have kept a log on my phone for over 18 months but after a plateau have been keeping a written daily record. Just looked back through and I get the carb cravings every Tuesday, I hadn't noticed until I looked back. That's day 3 of my 5 day weigh lifting week so next week am going to plan a...

I have started lifting weights in the few months and since then I have been getting really bad carb cravings about once a week. I am diet controlled and tried raising my carbs through the week slightly to help but my weight loss stalled. I am on 30g carbs per day but when the cravings hit it's...

Yes I have a BG machine and will definitely take it with me. I have very low bg's so don't have much leeway to drop too much. Am thinking of upping my carbs the day before slightly to slowly build up my bg before my sitting.

I am getting a tattoo which will be my third but this one is much bigger than the others. I will be in the chair for 2 - 3 hours in total. I am diet controlled with very good control. I have been told to eat a meal before the tattoo but what is a good meal. Should I eat fast acting carbs...
