[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 1864772, member: 45322"] Hi [USER=29475]@Lemonie[/USER] I do a lot of running, I've done about 2 dozen half marathons. I'm a T1 and need to have 2 dextro tablets every 15 mins to maintain my BGs. I always run fasted. If I wasn't diabetic, I really don't think I could do much more than 6 miles without any form of fast acting carbs. If you low carb, your glycogen levels are probably already pretty low, so your body can't provide sustained glucose release during exercise. Add to this, by eating something protein rich (i.e. a low carb energy boosting snack), your body takes a couple of hours to convert this to glucose, via glucneogenesis. So, in short, it's ok to have carbs for exercise, so long as your BGs are maintained [/QUOTE]
