[QUOTE="Bebo321, post: 553620, member: 68730"] Just out of interest, are you able to work out what your carb loading is? [url="http://Www.runsweet.com"]Www.runsweet.com[/url] have a good breakdown for what this should be - works it out by your weight and type of activity. Different people have different needs. ElyDave has posted elsewhere on the forum needs approx 40g/hr which is pretty low - for some that can go up to 60g and more per hour. [url]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/tried-a-bit-different-today-getting-there.57734/#post-552756[/url] Absolutely right to treat high bloods afterwards. That's caused by your liver kicking out glucose after your run (a response to raised heart rate). Insulin suppresses glucose production by the liver, and it could be that by disconnecting your insulin you are actually contributing to the high BG rise after you finish which is why you're having to use so much. I'm hoping someone else on the forum can advise regarding what's safe vis a vis disconnecting your pump. My personal view is that for an extended period (over 1hr or more) you should really keep it connected, albeit at a reduced level - but I suggest you consult with a HCP to qualify what is safe. Of course it will mean that you must carb up sufficiently. It is a more tried and tested way to just reduce insulin. Although your muscles are able to take glucose out of the blood stream once your GLUT4 transporters are mobilised, a trickle of insulin will also help your muscles to take up fuel. Should make running a little easier, plus you can safely extend your running time without risking knock-on effects through insulin levels running on 'empty'. Apologies, I can't advise with regards to a bag, but ask on the Facebook group and someone may be able to suggest a good source. Happy running and keep us posted with how you progress. Bx [/QUOTE]
