[QUOTE="EnduroDiabetic, post: 2274612, member: 525990"] Folks, I have been doing Ironman races for a couple of years now and am using a libre with injections, up until now I have simply reduced my basel when I'm doing my long (4 - 7 hour) training sessions and my races and then I have only eaten when my sugars start dropping to keep them up. Now I'm starting to get times which are quite competitive I'm looking at ways to get faster, nutrition plays a huge part in getting optimal results and I'm thinking that maybe a lack of insulin in my system could be slowing me down or impeding my bodies efficiency so I have 2 questions; 1) does anyone have any literature on this topic, or any advice on what the body requires in regards to insulin levels in order to operate "optimally" for long periods? 2) Does anyone have any anecdotes about ho they have dealt with getting "optimal" performance such races?
