What I Love about Diabetes!!

You may have gotten a little carried away, but that cool. I don't think I love diabetes but it's helped me: 1. Eat better and make sure my kids do too. 2. Get serious about running. 3. Cook more -…

Mike replied to Allison's discussion 'How to balance insulin, food, and exercise?!' in the group Athletic Diabetics
Hi Allison, I've been experimenting with different foods before and during workouts and have found that: 1. Bananas are not a good idea - too much sugar. 2. try eating carbs with fat - slows down the process and keeps you from spiking (i eat Halva…

Mike replied to Joe_h's discussion 'should I get my heart checked out?' in the group Athletic Diabetics
Yes. Not because you have something to worry about. but because every athlete should make sure there isn't a hidden problem waiting to happen and because you'll feel better if you get it done. I went to a sports medicine center and had a lactic acid…

That's very cool. I ran an off road 1/2 Marathon 2 weeks ago and saw someone in those "shoes". do they work on pavement as well. I have orthotics in my shoes. would they fit?

Had a one of those crazy days today. hardly used any insulin and managed to go low twice. once during a 10 mile run.

I agree with Mike (Ratrie), I'll stick to my Thor-los. I feel my toes may get too lonely on long runs if separated. Are dragon boats those big Chinese looking canoes?

Mike commented on Andy's group 'Diabetics who run Marathons!'
No, I haven't run many races. It's new to me. But it's addictive. I ran my first 10K race 1n 2008. and my first half marathon and marathon last year.

I haven't gone very far. I live abroad. My next marathon will be my first traveling one (last time was a three hour bus ride).

Mike commented on Sara's group 'Athletic Diabetics'
After a not very successful second marathon I decided to take it to the next level. I registered for the Rotterdam Marathon (Holland) being held April 11th and went do a sports dietician to help me eat and train correctly. I'm hoping to finally brea…

Mike commented on Andy's group 'Diabetics who run Marathons!'
It took me a while to come to terms with my lack of success during the marathon I ran Jan. 7th. I didn't pace myself on a hot day and I didn't eat any carbs the night before or the morning of the race. I was hoping to break 4 hours but instead ran a…

I'm running my 2nd marathon tomorrow. it's supposed to be unusually hot so I'm stressed out.
check out my wife's blogg about it (she told me she was going to write about it today and maybe tomorrow) http://asweetlife.org/author/jessica-apple/

I've set my hopes high this time. I want to break 4 hours although 4:03 will be fine too. I ran 4:13 last time.

How's the running going?? Marathon coming up? If so, GOOD LUCK to you! I haven't signed up for my next race(s) yet. Still trying to decide between another half or a full. Hope all goes well for you!
