[QUOTE="Bon83, post: 1489588, member: 397387"] I always look when it's a running comment as I trying to improve myself! Initially I saw quite big drops in blood sugar - even a 5 k used to reduce but it wasn't long before a short run stopped lowering my bg and actually made it go up. I then used to.get an initial rise in bg and then about 45 mins into a run I would start to drop. For a couple of weeks I was able to run for about 90 mins without extra carb. I think this is because my body had adapted to running. Then yesterday I went out for about an hour and 15 the heat had a big effect I think mainly because it made my heart rate go through the roof straight away - I had dropped by half in 40 mins. I think that as you build up keep testing. This can help you identify when you drop. I only drink water but I take on extra carbs if I am going over 90 mins. In theory over time you can apparently just burn fat for running I am trying to make progress with this [emoji4] [/QUOTE]
