[QUOTE="Fern Hopper, post: 2682015, member: 585668"] That was very comprehensive and informative. I have been Type 1 for 57 years and have always exercised a lot. I am 66. HbA1c 37. BMI 22. It does depend a bit on how far/how fast. Things have changed as well since cancer diagnosis and treatment. I am running a half marathon in 10 days. My last slightly longer run was on Wednesday. Just over 10 miles at 9 minute pace. No problems with this. No spikes (unlike Parkrun) and no hypo. I started with BG at about 7 and finished with a BG of about 7. No food on the way round. I have always found it far more difficult to eat whilst running compared to riding the bike. I like to start Parkrun at less than 5. I have my usual long acting insulin and usually about 1 unit of short acting. I have nothing to eat. My spike, I suppose is not that high at about 12. A slow warm down helps sometimes. I managed to run a half marathon on just one Weetabix and half a banana. Nothing else to eat until for 6 hours after finishing. It's a strange condition! I will try some of your suggestions. [/QUOTE]
