Thanks for the help in threads related, manage to go round without too much bigger and my libre is still more or less attached!

If anyone looking to do one I'd definitely recommend it, just make sure you take sugar. I had an energy gel and 4 bottles of lucozade on the way around and finished on a blood sugar level of 4.7!

 
Congratulations! Well done
 
Great achievement, well done you
 
Thank you everyone. Feels great, before I was diabetic I couldn't even run for 10 minutes !

It is motivating isn't it. I'm more active than I used to be but nowhere near to 21km run! Really impressive achievement especially that is not easy to keep bg at the right level with so much cardio excercise

Yeah I'm made up now. Even though my legs don't I'm already looking forward to the next one. I have to say aswell that the freestyle libre helps so so much, just makes everything that little easier.

I did only take two packs of dextrose aswell which wasn't the best idea....lucky they were handing out lucozade haha
 
Fabulous, very inspiring, love to read posts like this, reminds me I have 2 legs which are seriously in need of exercise !
 
Thank you!

It feels good juicyj! It can be a hinderance sometimes but feels just that little bit better when you manage to complete something which at first seems daunting
