[QUOTE="bmtest, post: 1906622, member: 21293"] If I go out runnng which is usually evening I will have done my normal testing throughout the day so I no where I am with things and for me its my own method and I do not say this is correct but its what I have done for last 40 years and never failed me when out running on my own at night. I look for a reading between 10 and 13 if it is not near that I eat something that creates that reading after I finish my reading will be anything between 4 & 7, my sessions last anything from 1.5 to 2 hours which includes stretching warming up and waiting for dog who runs with me. I have been through 3 dogs running and they are good till about 12years old till it gers too much. The training has always been a mix of Karate & Boxing with a run to finish off with. This method has worked with me on half marathon practise runs also with local club (running club does not hang around for diabetics like most places) on those nights I will carry a bottle of lucozade sport which I will drink and have a full packet of dextr in pocket as reserve which I sometime dip into as I run\walk home from club which is 1 mile. When I get home I feast on food and blood glucose is always nice and low for morning. [/QUOTE]
