[QUOTE="SimonP78, post: 2671847, member: 556474"] As I'm sure you're already planning to do, I think in your position I'd take a blood glucose monitor with me and do a test every hour/whenever I felt like I needed something to eat, and decide whether I actually should eat based on the value. I would avoid the energy gels unless actually low/heading that way, and stick to slower absorbed carbs - I tend to eat things like Cadbury Brunch bars, biscuits, Twixes, flapjack, sandwiches, with a backup supply of Kendal Mint Cake just in case I need to sort out a hypo but am feeling rotten. It might also make sense, if you don't mind [USER=583872]@Nic71[/USER] to ask one of the mods to move your initial post (3 up) and our responses to a separate thread as it will be easier to find and to understand the context.
