I have a question for all the "Docs" here.
Recently, my Endocrinologist discussed with me my "Carbing Up" before I go and run. What I mean by "Carbing up" is to have my glucose at around 200 - 250 immediately before I work out. His response was to me that if that is what I have to do before running and getting plenty of exercise, than just don't let your glucose level stay that high for very long. I then asked him if I would be or was doing any harm to my kidneys or my self in general. He really didn't know and stated that the jury may be out on that one. So what do you all think about me "Carbing up" before exercise as a Type 1, "Adult Onset" Diabetic? Do any of you think I am doing anything wrong, possibly? :confused:
Oh, by the way, my glucose after finishing 6 miles is approximately 90-125. This is dependant on temperature and humidity levels too.
I really need some advice here guys as I have an autoimmune disorder that caused the Diabetes, asthma, allergies, and Celiac Disease that I now have. They think it could hit the Kidneys next.
Thanks!
