[QUOTE="MangosteenElbow, post: 1246424, member: 322425"] Hydration and thermoregulation are distinct yet related issues. There's a reasonable amount of research on impaired thermoregulation by exercising diabetics. Apart from excellent suggestions above, consider trying: neckerchief soaked in water; chilling head before the race (ice pack on sconce!); anything to cool down quickly the core after the race (ice slurry can work for some); training with "ice vest" (either a freezer chilled vest or an evaporative water soaked vest - both add significant weight so are not race day solutions but add a training effect). If there is ever an opportunity during training or even a race (e.g. indentured family supporter) trial ice slurries. My thermoregulation impairment significantly reduced after becoming keto adapted (a phenomenon really explored by researchers) and if course the hypos and extreme variations in BGLs went away. Topic for anorher thread! If you are still carb dependents the adding carbs in some form effective for you to ice slurries serves hydration, cooling and carb management. Next best during distance race might be carbs in a mouth wash (aim is to rinse mouth with carbs in water but not ingest thru stomach). [/QUOTE]
