Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="yxlbaz" data-source="post: 72687" data-attributes="member: 18712">I am type 2 taking metformin with BP tablets and statins.I started running regularly about a year ago and it seems to have had a positive effect on sugar levels and a less certain effect on weight which is borderline "overweight".  I now run 10k about 3 or 4 times a week.That's all just background.  What I'm curious about is that my pace is still quite slow compared to others about the same age on a running forum that I use and it is not really improving.  I wondered if anyone with a medical background, or similar, could advise whether the fact that my natural insulin is not working 100% could reduce my available energy significantly even when my blood-sugar is  normal?  Or is it just my age or perhaps weight (61)?I'm not bothered about the pace as I run alone and don't expect to win any races.  I'm just curious about the insulin/energy question.</blockquote>
