[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 738878, member: 113206"] [SIZE=4]Maybe check with your doctor if your nurse was no help. They might do an EKG and other tests to make sure there are no other conditions that could be an issue. I don't get the eating carbs for exercising, although I suppose this is conventional wisdom - carbs for energy. When I work out (weight lifting and running up to 10 km) I do best with no carbs. I tried it after eating carbs recently and it was horrible - my blood sugar spiked up to 12, then plunged to less than 4 and I had to stop at 2km due to hypo symptoms, which went away as soon as I stopped running. I find it much easier to train on a low carb diet than a high carb diet, but maybe you're getting different results than me. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
