[QUOTE="RFSMarch, post: 1660119, member: 410451"] I don’t have a ranking. Just a casual player. I am a journalist by trade. I eat low carb when I can (at home) otherwise when I am away I try and take bars and Cup soups with me and then I am at the mercy of the Media centres and the 14 hour days that covering a tournament often throws at you. I do not do intermittent fasting as I found out early on in my career that it just does not work for me when you are generating content all day every day. I have no cartilage in my knees after years of being a 400m hurdler so me exercise has to be tightly controlled with strengthening exercises to keep my knees functional. The stone and a half I lost before I was diagnosed helped as that took a lot of weight pressure off the knees. For me the issue is time. As part of my own business I run my sports site and a company site, I work sportsdesk shifts and I work for an IT guy in the area I used to work in for 20 years before I took voluntary redundancy to train to be a journalist. I use a flash glucose monitor but know when my sugars are dropping as my concentration dips quite markedly so tend to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a couple of snacks. When I was diagnosed I had super high A1C, high blood pressure and high cholesterol and it was pretty overwhelming so I concentrated on learning to love Low GI foods, and then after 3 months when my A1C was almost halved, my cholesterol and FBG were close to normal, I started to try out low carb dinners as I was already having pretty LCHF breakfasts. Lunch when On shift is a challenge, and this will be the first full year I am on the Tennis circuit as a diabetic. [/QUOTE]
