I've been running now since January and completed the couch to 5K program. I find I can run and run first thing in the morning before breakfast and meds, but if I have to run in the afternoon (I work shift patterns) I struggle with distance and speed.

I've read everyone's advice about the low carb thing. It hasn't worked for me before. But I'm gonna give it another go now I'm on the insulin. I don't think I'll be trying an 800 calories diet though. Something ain't right though...
