My partner runs and I am working on my fitness and would like to eventually join him. In the fall, he’s doing a marathon. I would like to sign up for the 5km so I can compare it to next year. The problem is I am not at the running stage yet and won’t be for a while. I currently weigh around 350 pounds (down from 460). I would be slightly faster than this time because I won’t have the dogs with me, however, I will still be slow. Will I bother other runners if I walk the course?

Added to clarify: the marathon and 5km are under the same race. There’s a 5km, 10km, half, and full marathon at the same time!

Since being released from the hospital after a 5 day ICU stay due to DKA, I’ve struggled with getting my blood sugar in range, even when really monitoring my carb intake. Eventually I was advised to increase my insulin intake, which made losing weight more difficult. I was feeling so frustrated, exercising 2+ hours a day and seeing minimal changes (and weight gain).

After 3 months, I am finally seeing change. I’ve been going low at night so last week I decreased my insulin, and I’ve already lost 4 pounds. I increased my carb intake a few days this week just due to life and convenience, and I’ve still been in range.

Thanks to everyone who post in this group! I appreciate all of the comments on my posts, but also reading everyone else’s posts. I enjoy getting tips from everyone but also seeing struggles so I don’t feel alone. This is a rough disease.

ETA: my target is 3.9-9.0, which is 70-162

The alarm rang around 3:30am and 5:00am. When I opened the app it showed 3.2 (58) and 3.9 (70) respectfully. When I opened the app this morning, neither are showing below the low line. It is a new sensor- could it be faulty? Is it just a glitch?
