Good luck with the running! I find it much easier to get up and go with my running, so much easier to control things. I do find if I go out for a more relaxed pace I will see my BG level drop a fair bit, if I am going for a longer or faster paced run then things generally stay the same or go up...

Had a thought this evening, I’m not usually drink huge amounts of water. The last few days I have been drinking a lot more water than I am used to, could that be make my levels lower than usual?:pompous:

Thanks for your reply. I've just called Abbott there and they are replacing, incidentally this was already a replacement. Sickness type illness always seems to make me low, I was more concerned on this occasion that I was seeing a lasting effect days later

Looking for some help. I had a sickness bug at the weekend. During the illness and even now that I am feeling better, I'm struggling to keep my blood glucose up and having to implement a -30% temp basal on my pump I'm pretty much eating as normal now but still seeing quite a lot of lows...

@JosieMcGreal well done on taking the plunge on signing up. I’ve done 10 half marathons as a type 1 as well as one Ultra Marathon. It’s really a case of trying everything out in training and making sure that there’s nothing new on race day. Maybe try and pick up some shorter races between now...

I'm also running my first Ultra this year, thank you for linking to this. Seems like a good read.

Hi @Jem154 As others have said, well done on your achievements with the Couch to 5K programme so far. I started with Couch to 5K in January 2017 and it is a great plan to follow. As you I mainly try and run first thing in the morning before any food. I find this works well for me. Over...

Sorry should have said that, tubey pump

Some of the YA stuff is good.

My Wife also sells Usborne books so I end up being gifted or read books that she gets that are aimed at Young Adults. Some of the good series I have read or started are: Extinction Trials by S.M. Wilson Cogheart by Peter Bunzl A Place Called Perfect by Helen Duggan Not read yet but also got The...

Just been looking through all the diverse books that you are all reading. I switch between my kindle and physical books. Kinlde is great when we are away on holiday. I am currently reading Driftnet by Lin Anderson. First in a series of around 12 books and it is very interesting. Another I read...

@cokemannz assume the half marathon has now passed, hope it went well. I did 6 half marathons this year, with varying levels of success from a diabetes point of view. I had horrific hypos on my second and third races which totally took it out of me for the rest of the run. I did have 4 where I...

I traveled by Eurostar in October and had no problem. They swabbed it at the British end, and couldn't have cared less at the French end. I set off the metal detector at the French end, the security person saw I had a pump and waved me through. Security at Disneyland Paris were more of a pain...

I sometimes also see a rise from running, sometimes I see a drop. On Sunday I did around 10K with a start of just over 7.0. At the end I was going to run for a little bit longer but tested my blood and it was 3.7. First time I've had a hypo during a run. This morning I tested before my run and...

Yes I agree, although I do my set change first thing after being in the shower. I suppose I could set up a pattern in my pump for these days. I'm not even totally convinced my ratios are right in the morning anymore, so it could even be this.
