[QUOTE="Pathfinder075, post: 1227533, member: 45712"] I received a diagnosis of T2 two weeks before I left. I am unmedicated and I had zero problems while in Spain. My diet became very carb free throughout my time in Spain, which in turn nerfed my sugar levels. I lost weight, gained fitness and came back feeling a lot better and my HBA1C bottomed out to under the levels of a person without T2. My doctor said if I hadn't had a crazy high HBA1C previously, he wouldn't have been the wiser. Saying that only my HBA1C was high originally. My day to day levels were normal. There were reasons for it. I worked out that throughout my camino I only ever ate chorizo, cheese, rocket or lambs lettuce and drank sugar free yoghurt drinks and water, plus the odd sugar free monster. I had no food carbs for probably the vast majority of my walk. But I did drink beer and wine, so some sugar was going in, but i had no ill effects from it, probably because I was walking for 4-5 hours every day in hot temperatures with a fairly heavy pack. I also had no issues with blisters, but had to replace my shoes on day 2 of my camino, so had to break in a new pair of shoes while walking. Get good shoes and break them in prior to going. Also carry loads of foot cream. I went through three tubes of the thick scholl heel cream while out there and was using decathlon walking socks of which I destroyed 3 pairs by the time I finished.
