[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1213069, member: 295621"] Taking it slowly is the best approach as suggested by many in this post. Providing that you're exercising at the same intensity throughout the whole duration, you can work out roughly how much carbs you'll need. What I did was went for a half hour jog and compared my BG's before and after. I then seen that I dropped 2mmol/L for that half hour jog. So now if I were to go for an hour run, I'd be taking let's say 10g carbohydrates after 15mins and a further 10g of carbs around the 45 minute mark. I apply the same logic for 4-5 hour cycles and it seems to work fine. All in good time though:) Grant [/QUOTE]
