[QUOTE="theblokefromstoke, post: 306990, member: 24497"] Hi Bonzodog. I was diagnosed 3years ago at 40 with a BG level of 26. I needed to lose a lot of weight & get more active. I now run around 50miles per week, registered as an athlete with UKA & English athletics & represent 2 clubs & my local town in the veterans V40 league nationally. The turn around in my life has been incredible & I've never felt so fit or well:-) I still take 2 metformin & self test & have to plan all my food & meds around my excercise. On race or big training days, I will not take metformin before excercise. I will always have a banana half hour before the excercise & take snacks along to eat during the excercise. For training I usually cut up an orange & munch probably hourly. On a long race I take jelly babies & eat as & when I feel my sugar levels dropping. I find after a demanding workout or long race over about 10miles or so I don't need metformin at all. It really is all about learning yourself in the early stages to find what suits you. I lost 7 stone all in all. Good luck [/QUOTE]
