[QUOTE="Jeff_uk, post: 1330130, member: 339171"] after 4 years of pretty heavy training, clean diet I managed to change from a 15st pretty heavy looking guy to a 11.5 stone fit person. After stepping up my cardio training to complete a marathon over mount snowden 2 weeks before the run I was diagnosed with type1 diabetes and the last 4 years of training seem to be quickly slipping away from me. I'be just recently got back on my feet and started running again, unfortunately the gym hasn't been in use since my diagnosis as the early starts I've been use to can be a massive waste of time, if my bloods are lower than 5 I can't drive, meaning I can't get to the gym. Quite early on with diabetes I decided I wanted to enjoy my evenings if I couldn't guarantee a workout in the morning. I've found I need my bloods to be around 12-14 to get out for 30 minutes (3.5 mile) jog, when I get back I'm somewhere between 3.5-5. What I'm struggling with is fueling, I'm running to try lose some of my podge I've put on since my diagnosis, I'm having to have big hits of sugar to extend my run, is this not going against what I am running for? Anyone been in the same boat? Cheers for any advise! Jeff [/QUOTE]
