Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fallenstar" data-source="post: 212509" data-attributes="member: 36659">HiI do long distance and fell running, 90 miles a week on average with type 1. Whatever length run I go on I will not take any insulin with my last meal before the run. This was on my own findings and the advice of my Endo.I will only set off on a run when my sugars are between 14/17 . I will check about 6 miles into the run and usually they will be down about to 10 this should then give me another 6 miles in the tank if it is not too hilly. I will have a Lucozade Gel if I am going further and will have three os these with me incase of hypo's.My sugars will be down to 4 by the time I get back when usually I have another meal with a lower dose of insulin than if I had not exercised ,to just take care of the afterburn.Sometimes if my sugars have not budged at the 6 mile stage ,or even occasionally gone up, I will take 8 units of my Lantus as my Apidra works too quickly when my circulation is going big time.Hope some of this may helpI</blockquote>
