[QUOTE="spideog, post: 1097980, member: 31176"] It's for treating hypos, not for use as a refreshing drink. Sugar disolved in water is the fastest way of getting it into your system, other than using an injection. Agreed, there really isn't much need for anything other than water in most cases. Running marathons, and further, though a sugary drink can come in handy in the later stages to pick you back up again once the levels drop a bit. That's the same for everyone though, diabetic or not. Personally I use gels during long runs, and wash them down with plain water, as that is the best way of being certain exactly how much glucose I'm taking on board during the run. Taking swigs of an energy drink on the way round and most of it would get spilled over yourself and you wouldn't know what you've actually consumed. [/QUOTE]
