[QUOTE="dtennant9, post: 1935981, member: 54755"] [USER=494496]@cokemannz[/USER] 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 didn't hypo though, including an epic 3hr 40min adventure over the Fife hills. Didn't expect to be out there for that long that day. Gels are ok, but I find they can sit on my stomach and make me feel a bit :sour: Won't be in a hurry to use them again. Also used Active Root in training a couple of weeks ago and that was nice. I experimented with more real food and latterly was having Soreen and the odd jelly baby to maintain blood sugar levels. [/QUOTE]
