[QUOTE="bmtest, post: 2142873, member: 21293"] I am able to pass advice put it may well be out time and place but I practise Shotokan Karate in late 1970s and during 1980's I used to rush home for tea and eat at arounf 17:30 on bus at 18:00 hours arrive at dojo 18:20 and eat a full mars bar. The session was 2 hours long very intense and in summer we ran round city centre in bare feet and trained in local parrk with the usual knuckles on concrete. I may have well been hypo or high blood sugar but the training was that intense you could not tell as you sweated like a pig anyway . Gradings were similar to your a grand marathon event you always have to err on caution so blood level higher than lower it will not do you any harm. My advice is do what you can get away with without being a nuisance in my day they would not have known what a diabetic was and I never told them the doctors did not want me running on streets in bare feet. You will never get control perfect but you need to be hitting session on a static reading for best results and your body gets used to it you dont just do a session you train and prepare to go the distance. When I was in running club I made sure before joining I could do 6 mile with just a lucozade sport and back up of dextro tablets and some nights we did half marathon training but I commenced with static blood sugar of 10 but sometime if higher you can start off very groggy as it is high but on return to base its about 7.
