Welcome, itfitz. I too am a 1.5. I'm still putting out enough natural insulin to maintain things through diet and exercise. However, things are beginning to slip I suspect as my last couple of A1c tests were definitely higher than in the past. It's to be expected. We've got all types of runners in this forum. Some casual and some, like yourself, quite serious. I am struggling to get back into it after 30 years of running and now walking daily with my wife. The forum has been a bit quiet as of late. It is listed among the "training forums" because that is how we started; with a few of us who were serious about getting our running programs going. It is now a combination of training and socializing. So anything goes here. Training, diabetic questions, gear, food, mood swings you name it. Welcome aboard! John
