[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 243208, member: 33342"] OK, I promise I'm not link mining on this (and Phoenix, I respect you greatly both as an athlete and the intellectual backbone of DUK), but as a low-carbing T2 Diabetic, who is in the process of stepping up to half-marathons (and maybe a marathon next year), this is something I've looked at carefully. You need to look at some of this with a T2s glasses on. I don't have the luxury (or the terribe burden) of using insulin to eat up any carbs that I consume. I also don't want to deliberately spike my carbs before or during a run. Most of the literature that I've read comparing fat-loading against carbo-loading will conclude that carbo-loading will promote superior performance (which is fine for a non-diabetic athlete) but also that fat-loading will decrease the rate of glucose uptake from the blood and (if it happens) reduce the symptoms of hypoglycemia. This is a good explanation: [url]http://fulltext.ausport.gov.au/fulltext/2001/acsms/papers/BURL2.pdf[/url] so is this: [url]http://www.racewalking.org/fat_loading_for_endurance_sports.pdf[/url] There are lots more. Dr Mike Sherman ([url]http://pro.osu.edu/profiles/sherman.4/[/url]) at Ohio State is the daddy of this type of research - unfortunately I can't get many of his papers, but you can read a lot about his work, and the (lack of) science behind Carbo-Loading in Tim Noake MD's brilliant "The Lore of Running". If I didn't have T2 Diabetes, I'd happily carbo-load. However, if I want to keep my 5.2% HbA1c then I've got to look at alternatives. Are you much of a runner [b]Angeleyes?[/b] [/QUOTE]
