I need to have bypass. I will have it done at the Cleveland Clinic on Dec 2.
I had one artery 95% to 100% blocked and 3 others at 85%. I have a lot of collateral growth to make up for my 95% blockage.
I'm pretty sure this practice isn't recommended as much as it once was. There is a very finite amount of glucose that can be stored in the muscles and liver, and "loading" can't really add more.
I went to a seminar sponsored by the Diabetes Exerc...
I ran my first marathon last year and am in training for my second. I did not participate in the Pasta dinners or any other sort of carb loading. I ate a banana half an hour before the race.
I've been wondering about this too. I didn't feel out of...
I have 3200 miles on my bike this year and I passed my stress test but failed my eco. I need to get a cath done to see if I have any blockage. The doc thinks I might have one. If I do they will put a stent in. Here are my last Cholesterol HDL 58 L...
I use a polar hrm. I also try to use CGM but it comes out some of the time. I like to see what my heart rate is while I ride. Also I like to know how my calories I am burning.
Today I reached the 3000 mile mark on my bike this year. I am happy because this is my first year riding. I did get in 2 century rides and 4 metric century rides in this year. I don't know if I will get to 4000 by the end of the year. Fall have ar...

Mike Campana said… - Hi John! There is a great article in this months Mountain Bike Action (red cover this month with bikes on it) about organically increasing your "race fitness". There were some great tips that can be executed both on-road and off to help push the limits of your power and thresholds without doing some over involved plan. You may want to check it out.

Chi' said… - Yes, it was the sweet corn challenge. The hills were like 3 miles long. By the time we were up a hill, it was time to eat another snack otherwise I would have been shaky. I am most likely on more medication than I need right now (still working on my plan). I noticed you did Tour deCure...I was there too! Are you on a team? A friend of mine and her husband are doing the MS ride and I hear that it's mostly flat.

Alexis Pollak - I Run on Insulin said… - Hey John! I am the co-Chair of the San Diego Tour de Cure, I got in to biking two years ago when I first joined the committee (from committee member to co-Chair in less than two years - that's what I get for being the token diabetic - haha). I actually use a borrowed bike right now, I am saving up for my own. A good friend of mine lent me her Bianchi, which has totally spoiled me- now I only want the best! I am saving up right now so I can have my own wheels. Not sure what I will end up getting. What do you have?

Sarah said… - It was amazing watching TT1 do RAAM, but yeah, I don't see myself ever riding that fast, or anywhere close to it. I ride for fun and fitness, not speed :)

- TT1 uses nuun.. it's how I found out about it :) There's a store locater on nuun's website... it's not cheap though, about $6 for a tube of 12 tablets (I think that makes a gallon and a half?). However, it's highly portable and you don't have to much with powder on the go.

Rock said… - John,
Hills can make for a nice interval, but you have to be careful with the time. Hold the high (ie>90-95%) heart rate for no longer than 15 seconds, then drift back slowly to 40 to 50%. Holding the interval too long causes more harm than good, and can result in too much post ride misery.
Head down and hammer.

- Hi John! I'm a little jealous, how do you find the time to ride??? I've tried to get out as much as possible but still have only about 700 miles on the year! I'm looking forward to the 62 mile ride next weekend as well! I think I've ridden all of the hills at some point or another this year so hopefully that will help. I try to get at least one stupid, crazy steep hill in on my rides even if it's just North Hampton or Oak Hill. Nice job on the fund raising as well! Talk to you soon or see you next weekend!

- Hi John!
I've been riding the paved hike and bike trail north from Stow. Probably around 15-20 miles a pop. I've been alternating between my road and MTB. I'm going to hit the bike shard this week with the nice weather and all. I'll be in and out and around the valley as well. When do you usually ride?

Hayaa said… - Hi John ; thanks for the advice. I dont have a watch but I am training in gym monitoring my heart rate ( cardio 145- 152 heart rate ) I am loosing ; but it takes tooo much time . I am training since June and only lost about 4- 5kgs. For the exercise intensity and amount I am eating it seems very strange... I will try to get a heart rate monitor watch as well :-)
