Amazing amount of work output! Are you intraining for a triathlon?

No just like to workout and keep healthy.

Currently recovering post surgery so have a little more time on my hands for training and rehab, normally I would do weights 4 times a week for about 60-90 mins and cardio /swim on a couple of mornings.

Always been active, It pains me that my T2 came when I was laid up for 6 months and as soon as I was active again back to normal.

Probably ran with high peaks and less than ideal levels all my life, but activity outweighed the eating ha.

Clearly insulin resistant but the good thing is I found out and caught it very early in on the down slope for which I am grateful, Doc is looking at removing my diagnosis at the 5 year point as I only ever had 2 results in the T2 range 2 weeks apart, and I would very much like to pay a lot less for my Life Insurance and Crit health cover ha!
