Hello everyone
I am new to this site (been a member for while, this is my first post!) and just wanted to find out if others are the same as me. I am T2 have been for around 3 years, I am totally comfortable with it and adjusted my lifestyle accordingly. I gave up drinking, smoking and ditched the usual culprits; white bread, pasta, potato's and recently I have taken up running and a lot of gym work.
My question is this whilst training I was on a low carb diet and I felt very unwell. I was told that I needed to increase my carb's and sugars in my diet due to the amount of running and training I am doing. Since then I have increased my carb intake to around 200g per day and everything seems fine. My bs levels are good at 6.2 (drastically down from 7.9 pre exercise) why is there so much conflicting information out there? If I was newly diagnosed some of the information would drive my to confusion. Why is that exercise and increased carb intake are better for you than just a low carab diet?
Any ideas. Thx
