Hi All
I was diagnosed about 8 years ago with a1c of 140+ and got it down to 40's till i had covid and it shot up to 116. Next a1c was 54 or 53 but latest one has come out at 38. Went on a diabetes rewind programme by nhs but i did not like the recommended shakes so just did it on soups and stopped at 9 weeks as i had lost more than 20 percent of body weight.
As soon as i stopped it, i started walking and now walking and running for a minimum of 20k steps. My last 30 days average is about 15km per day, i do 8 to 10k in evening and 5in afternoon. Longer walks on weekends as i have more time. Does get tiring after a 12 hour job but i have not gained anynweight since coming off vlcd in march. I have not lost further but for first time in years my cholesterol was normal too so happy with that. Still doing 16 8 IF but some days are harder than others.
Any recommendations what i could have before the run in evening. I can manage walk in afternoon but evenings are extremely hard as i only have soup and some chicken for lunch. I usually eat a boiled egg or two before i go for run but i think its not instant energy, but it does keep me ticking, i have gone without eating anything and i do struggle then.
My dinner is usually cauli rice with a meat or veg boiled or roasted with a huge bowl of salad.
