Hi, I’m type 1, don’t have a pump and self fund a freestyle libre. I inject both basal and bolus insulin. I’m entered in a few races of up to 100 miles in 2018 and these will be my first races above marathon distance. My previous marathon plan has been to reduce basal by about a third the previous night and then not inject in the race but I’m not sure this can work, especially for 100 miles, as will need to have solid food on the way as well as gels or similar. Any advice from others in a similar diabetic situation who’ve done races of 50 miles or above much appreciated.
