Hi.

We have a few things to go over. This takes a little time to get ironed out. You can run without problems, it just takes some work to get it all figured out.

To start with, can I call you by your first name? 😀

Are you still on Tresiba? Do you use a pump or pens or what is your insulin method? I see you mentioned NovoLog and Tresiba, but didn’t see a pump reference so I assume it is still Tresiba and injections…

What is your diet like? Are you low carb, normal carb, or anything special there?

Do you use a CGM? I personally don’t think it is very useful for running, but just for the nighttime issues you mentioned, like waking up high.

Do you think your endo is flexibile about giving you different/new things to try? Have you gauged that yet, meaning do you believe he or she is easy to work with?

So those are some initial questions. The next thing is some reading for you. 😀

Start with these posts. After that, I’d like to get you hooked up with a BG meter for running.

This is great. You have the foundation. You will get it right back!
