[QUOTE="JPW1, post: 2193121, member: 517720"] Ok i have been treated as type 2 for years but am probably now type 1 and have started basal / bolus therapy just before Christmas. I havent ventured out much but have run on the dreadmill at the gym 5k followed by fast 400m intervals and it didnt immediatly decrease BG until later in the day. One thing i will say is that distance training i found in the past trains the body not to use blood glucose so much as other reserves in fat etc. When i started running after type 2 diagnosis my bg dropped quite quickly but as i increased in training miles, speed and fitness it dropped comensuaretly lesd and less. So I've run many 1/2s and 1full with no carb loading , no gels etc. Now on insulin itll be different but i think as ypu train longer you bg will probably not drop off as quickly as you think it might. I'm guessing that as with most things with diabetes it's trial and error. Take your time increasing miles etc., take a phone, start off on shortish circuits so you're not too far from home etc. Now heres the performance tip, go to 15 or 16 miles a few times in training, you'll enjoy and perform so much better on race day.
