[QUOTE="Member34835, post: 195074"] I am sorry to hear that you are having problems like this. I am a type 1 who is running for 2 -2.5 hours without hypos but I can only do this by starting out on a level of 15-18 which then rapidly decreases to a 4-6 by my return. I then have to keep on reducing insulin to carb ratios due to the afterburn. Judging by some of the posts I have seen the idea of having such high blood sugars seems to be unacceptable but I don't seem to get ketotic and my blood sugars do not remain high for long. The only things that occur to me other than the obvious that you can't start an hours run on 7 and not go hypo if you are running and not walking, is do you inject in your legs and might that make the insulin peak more quickly as you are moving your legs so intensively?
