I am now confident that you could easily be the next president of the USA, were it not that, quite rightly, you prefer to put your energy into running. Don't forget you can eat more carbs than me, since you are male, taller, run further and, my guess is, are younger than my 75 years. Very interesting about the long run effect you have noticed. Do you eat any extra carbs before or during your long runs? I am struggling to get this right, as my running is going very badly lately (possibly due to other health problems unconnected with bg). I'm afraid even 3 miles is seeming quite long to me at present, but perhaps that will perk up as either my body gets used to functioning on such a low allowance of carbs or I learn how best to slip it the right amount of sugar at the critical moment, not too soon, not too late. Fuelling my weight training sessions at the gym is another problem I haven't cracked.Everyone says exercise is good for bg in the long and short term (except the people who find it spikes them, thank heaven we don't have that problem). Have you tried walking or similar for just 10-20 minutes after meals? Quite a few research studies have found this helpful, especially after the evening meal, when one can hope to help one's next day fasting numbers. I usually do it, but I can't really tell if it helps. We discussed this in a thread in the Exercise section further down.</blockquote>
