[QUOTE="IZ THE LEG END, post: 1058971, member: 195751"] Go for it... I did it about 2 years ago and would definitely do another... I must stress I did this before being diagnosed with diabetes. I was supposed to run my first 100km ultra marathon this year in April but when diagnosed last year I lost interest in everything. I finally got my head straight at Christmas and now I'm back training and I am running it now in 2017! I thought why should it stop me... I started monitoring my BG whilst training, and recorded my info... I built trends I've only been back training now for 5 solid weeks but my plan is pretty hefty I'm running around 80-100km spread over the 7 days... For me (everyone's different) I drop approx 1 mmol per km but this can depend on several factors, insulin taken before and how long before Food eaten before Time of day Intensity of training BG Reading before setting off... I have established that raising my BG to between 7-9mmol I can sustain long runs >15km with little issues, I carry a running best always even on 4km run including water, gels and a small hypo kit... And my meter of course... I "attempt" to monitor my BG and as in the first few KM it begins to drop "top up" jelly babies are good as its 5g carbs per sweet so can be simple maths whilst running... By monitoring like this I can finish my runs with small adjustments made on route with my BG in normal range for me I like 5-6.4 I continue to monitor my levels after for a couple of hours too as I've found this can also be a issue of continuing to drop... The reason for me raising my BG at the start is that I notice a sharp drop at the start of cardio... But then I can level this out and maintain it during the run... I don't use CGM or a pump. For work reasons only. I use the accu-check mobile can be a little off sometimes but no strips makes it easy on the move... Try the website [URL="http://www.runsweet.com"]www.runsweet.com[/URL] Some great advice on there... They cover everything from rowing to ultra marathons Sorry for waffling on... Hope it helps And good luck... Diabetes shouldn't stop you doing anything it did me for several months last year but never again!!! [/QUOTE]
