I had a nice plate of pasta with meat balls etc and bread stick, thinking I ws going to do a nice 2 miles about 45 minutes later. Things piled up and the run never took place. BG @ 2hrs? 96! Checked again 95 so I ran a control test: Within limits. WHAT GIVES? It should have been 160 to 175

maybe all that running is making you more sensitive to insulin or you didn't eat as much as you thought you did. either way cool

One wonders! Could be my body figured that because I always run when I eat like that it just jumped in and acted like I did? I have been fighting lows after my long Saturday runs the last 2 weeks too. Maybe I need to ADD carbs to my diet

Are you sure it was regular pasta? I've used certain lower-carb pastas and they truly are LOWER.

Fast Food Take out: Fazolli's spaghetti with meat sauce and meat balls Total carbs 132g. Fiber 10g. Net carbs 122. Almost 66% of my allowed carbs before I started running

I don't know. What I do know is that from time to time I can get away with eating just about anything, and the next time my BS will go sky high. So just be carefull, and don't think you got a new lease on the diabetes. The running helps control the BS, any thing that helps develope muscle mass will help with the BS over time, not just when you exercise.

Just had a thought - I've actually had something similar happen when I've had a meal with a higher fat content - the 2 hr reading was good(not that good - but still lower than expected), but the 3hr reading my levels were still climbing. I don't normally test that often, but since I've never had a 4 hr GTT, I occaisionally do a similar type check after eating a high carb meal. Maybe the fats slowed the carb absorbtion? Just guessing..

My foot problem I think was that I started double knoting my laces. I think the knot was causing problems with gate etc. Now my problem is a blister starting on the inside of my left foot mid heal. Mole skin will take care of that. Ran 8 miles training this morning. The run felt good and I had a "kick" for the last quarter mile that shocked me!!I have no idea where that came from. Maybe it was the finishers standing on the bridge cheering me on! FELT GREAT!!

Talked to my RD today and asked about that pasta dinner and the 96 BG reading. She had no answer either except that with the running my body may be responding better. That is OK with me, after all that is why I started running to begin with. I am very much looking fwd to our 10 miles on Sat. Did I just say that? In PRINT?
