[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 2604077, member: 88961"] To be honest, were I in that situation I would not turn to carbs. I would just fuel up more, but work on the timing of it. Where carbs give a quick hit, fuelled by protein and fat the energy release is slower, however, if you know you are undertaking the feat (and I imagine there would be a lead in to the event), then you need to understand when you need to feed. There are endurance athletes who have run fasted, such as Dr Ian Lake, a long term T1, low carber on MDI insulins: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/blog/2018/08/gp-type-1-diabetes-runs-low-carb/[/URL] Ian is a very lovely guy and I'm sure he'd be happy for you to reach out to him. He has a presence on Twitter and so on. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
