Hi everyone,
This is the first time I've tried anything like this but I've been having major problems recently since I started upping the amount of running that I do with having low blood sugars particularly at night.
I'm type 1 on multiple injections a day and I've done the dafne course so I've tried all the bits and bobs that recommends- reducing night time insulin by 10+15% and when I run in the morning doing the same, however I am still getting ridiculously low afterwards causing me to have to eat a great deal. I've always had an issue with eating snacks- thanks to a previous doctor saying I had a bmi and telling me I needed to diet (I was a size 10 like I am now) so I find that difficult to do.
I was therefore wondering if anyone had any tips they have learnt, as I'm training for a 10k at the moment so running approx 20k a week with circuits and spinning classes as well, which could help me stop having low blood sugars.
Thanks, Hannah
