Using jelly babies during exercise..any negative effects?

[Brunneria]

I hope you put the out of their misery quickly.

I always bite the heads off first, thinking it is a quick death, but then I am haunted by the image of being thrust, head first, into a huge mouth, with the teeth coming down like great white guillotine blades... shudder.

I'm a type 1 disgnosed just over 15 months ago and I'm still trying to get back into the mountain walks I used to do before diagnosis. I've read lots of advice and have my levels pretty much under good control with carb counting/bolus injections but the one area where I'm still struggling is during exercise.

Despite reducing pre-exercise bolus significantly I find I need to take in lots of fast acting carb.. typically I get through 1.5 bags of jelly babies during a days walk in the hills/mountains. Whilst the JB's work well I'm a little concerned that all this sugar intake isn't doing me any good, would appreciate some guidance on this

Thanks

I BELIEVE THEY ONLY WORK IF YOU BIGHT THE HEADS OFF FIRST!!! RICHARD
