Hi, I'm new here so I hope you can help me with a problem I've had for a while
My name is Michael. I have been type 1 diabetic for 15 years. I'm 34. I exercise fairly regularly, mainly boxing, cycling, kickboxing, and running. I am trying to slim down and get in shape but have no definite idea as to how to do this, as the clash between having carbs and sugars to keep my sugar level up when exercising is possibly also the same thing that is keeping me a bit pear-shaped.
Are there any foods/diets that would keep my sugar levels steady when doing high-intensity exercise and allow me to work off my tires and get in shape? If so could you provide any specific examples of these?
Thanks everyone.
Michael.
