Message: <blockquote data-quote="adrian29459" data-source="post: 119066" data-attributes="member: 6703">I went for another running session yesterday.  Prior to the run I made sure to have tea and injection early (2.5hrs).  Two hours later my blood sugar was 5.7 before I went out.  I ate an oatey cereal bar and took a half bottle lucozade sport, glucotabs and a cereal bar with me.  An hour later after the run I'd used up almost everything I brought with me so I tested in the car going home, 19.5!!!! What on earth!?10mins later I'm home and I think I know what the problem is.  I wash the fingers throughly and re-test... 5.8.  Phew...  I think it must have been the glucotabs powder making my fingers very sugary...Concluding, I felt much better during the run having the lower blood sugars and will always try to ensure I stay within the 5-7 optimum range for future exercise.</blockquote>
