Message: <blockquote data-quote="IanD" data-source="post: 113435" data-attributes="member: 6186">Experiment & test.Measure your BG at the start & 15 min intervals. Try the drink in a bottle, so you don't feel obliged to drink the whole can. Test when you stop the exercise & 1/2 hour after. It is probably the caffein in the sports drinks that is frowned on. It depends how intensively you train. I find exercise increases my BG from about 6-8, & then it drops to about 5 after I stop. But my exercise is intermittent - tennis & gym, rather than continuous like running. I suppose my exercise is at a level that allows my body to generate energy from fat reserves. I drink only water or NAS squash during play. I usually have dried apricots at hand if my BG drops below 5.5.</blockquote>
