I recommend starting to run before breakfast, just on long-acting, which means you don't have to snack. After that, you should be able to run at other times as long as you wait two hours after taking fast-acting. My consultant suggested that I half my fast-acting dose for lunch if I'm running in the afternoon, and also reduce my split dose night Levemir.I don't snack while running as I'm trying to try my body to burn fat. I'm currently in Cornwall, running the SW Coastal Path. I ran 16 km yesterday (3000 ft climbing) before breakfast, just with coffee and cream and long-acting. My BS sat on 4.5.The most difficult run for me is a 10 pm run, an old favourite of mine, as I'm really insulin sensitive later in the day. It requires planning, in taking a lot less fast-acting insulin at lunch and none at dinner. I have to accept higher than my usual blood sugars during that time, which is the difficult part.I wear a Libre and carry jelly babies, glucose gels and a blood test kit on all my runs for safety.</blockquote>
