[QUOTE="Sa13rah, post: 847624, member: 170810"] If you're going low whilst running can you afford to reduce your insulin or 'carb load' before to compensate the exercise? This weekend I've done the pretty muddy race for life and a half marathon. The race for life was 5k with obstacles. I'm fine with the distance & know I don't need extra supplies but I wasn't sure what the obstacles would do to my blood sugars, I had a secret stash of jelly babies in a sandwich bag in my sports bra, just in case.. There is no escape from the mud! With both events I reduced my long acting insulin & had no short acting with my breakfast (weetabix & a brew). I also made sure I had something to eat straight after.
