Hi, I've signed up for race for life 5k and have been training over the last few weeks. looking online its say its best for sugars to be between 7 -10 before starting a run. Could someone advise me what the score is if your levels are higher than this before you start.
I have to confess I've not been testing for a long time because it just pee's me off, so I've no idea what my level was before I ran this morning at 7am, but I just decided to test half hour ago and I'm reading 13 and absolutely staving hungry. had half a banana before running 4k and the rest once I was back plus a cup of tea once I got to work other than that just water. hmm just realized as I'm typing this I missed my meds this morning, guess I forgot because I didn't have the cup of tea a home.
lesson learnt, test before the run, takes tablets, and then test mid morning.
In the meantime any advise on what I should expect would be great.
thanks Lyn
