[QUOTE="Bebo321, post: 553416, member: 68730"] Hi there, Okay - I would suggest your carb loading with lucozade and jelly babies isn't ideal (only because they're not great sources of glucose and a bit hit and miss with regard to quantity) We recommend torq product - gels and recovery drink etc. [url]http://www.torqfitness.co.uk[/url] . Much faster release and absorption, and specific number of carbs. Recovery product after a run is awesome - gives your body everything you need. Pretty expensive, but worth it. Really any brand of energy gels would work better for you though - that and drink plenty of water. CGM is a superb idea. That will enable you to absolutely match requirements. Also you'll get to observe and catch any hypers/hypos afterwards or overnight. Just make sure you get to see the real-time data, and the hospital doesn't keep all the data to go through it with you a week after the event!:banghead: You really don't need to inject the insulin you've missed! Eeek! You'll see why once you watch the video - basically your muscles are able to take glucose directly out of the blood when you exercise - without any insulin. (Sorry - the video doesn't load on the iPad, and we haven't figured out why!) no need to make up the 'lost' units. Certainly that will be bringing any higher bloods back down though. TeamBG has been set up after the need was identified through the gbdoc. My husband basically set up both after being diagnosed with T1 at the ripe old age of 42! He set up the gbdoc first because he felt isolated, then set up TeamBG because he has an interest in exercise and perceived that there was a big hole in the knowledge and understanding in that area. Anyone who wants to exercise is part of TeamBG as far as we're concerned - so welcome to the Team! We've been going for just a year or so - still early days, but big plans! We'll be booking in more dates for parkrun events before long - just getting pharma signed up to support us so that we can offer literature/advice, free test kits, hand out gels etc when we turn up. :) Hey - have you joined the Sporty Diabetic Type1's facebook page? Loads of peeps there too to ask advice from. There might even be a few based in your neck of the woods for the support group! You'll find the link on the teambg website. Bx [/QUOTE]
