Running + glucose gel
03/21/2024 2:14 a.m.
Hello,
My name is Mariano, 47 years old and I have diabetes since the age of 2.
Thanks to I do sports from a very young age, I am very controlled and stable.
Some time ago I decided to start running, I run 10k normally, but I have to consume sugar every 30 min because I do not fall into serious hypoglycemia and it does not allow me to increase the distance.
They could please recommend me, if you know, some glucose gel to consume during training or some product they know to keep glucose stable, I have been looking for a while and I can't find something that really works for me.
Thank you so much
Greetings

What I use for the bicycle and is the most effective and cheap that I know is, sugar (from the bar) to trace fast and banana to maintain, all the gels what they carry is sugar and other uncommon products such as flavorings, gelifying, acidulating, etc ... and they are expensive

Maybe you should adjust the basal dose the training days.In addition, do not run with active insulin.
Hiking also consumes a lot of glucose and for me, the most pleasant to overcome or prevent a hypo is a bruck of fruit juice.My favorite is apple.I breakfast 2.5 HC, I put only one fast unit when my breakfast ratio is 2 to 1 and I immediately leave the route.That allows me to walk two and a half hours without peaks or dances.And the previous night under the basal 2 units.
I have reached that pattern by the test and error method.That it is good for me does not guarantee that it works for you, my idea is to transmit that, apart from the type of sugar supplement that requires your activity, you have other variables that you can modify to keep the blood glucose stable doing sports.

Thank you very much for the Pamagic data!
You could tell me the gel brand that you use please, if it serves you, I will try with the same brand.
Thank you very much diabetic for your answer, now I had been using common sugar in envelopes but I don't have a quick response and I wanted to avoid using it.
Thank you very much salad, I have come down the basal because I enter Gym 4 days and I am running three, but it is a good fact to download 2 Unid on running day, I will try it.
Thank you very much for the info

Hi Mariano,
I make mountain races and asphalt, cycling, swimming ... and as you say for long distances it is complicated to manage to stay within safe margins.
Currently use 3 products:
- To maintain the contribution more or less stable and without peaks, I am using a kind of cream that each is 10g of hydrates of different types so as not to peak and have a longer contribution:
Smart fuel of 226ers t.ly/0pvmf
- If the thing has complicated too much and you have to go back a little, then I use an energy gel with caffeine that usually recovers quite fast, alternate between one of isostar and another of 226ers
energy gel of 226ers t.ly/njgr0
Energy gel endurance bcaa t.ly/nu5qn
- And to maintain during the exercise especially if it is not going to be a very long effort, I also use gombolas of isostar
High Energy Boost gomolas t.ly/6kwaa
Of all this the great discovery was the first since the effect is quite durable without making beasts.
I hope it helps you.

@Mariano23: I recommend that you take a look at the publications that Serafín Murillo has on Instagram on sport and diabetes.
It has clarified many things to prevent hypos during and after exercise

Thank you very much infodescarga,
I'm going to try these products, so you describe, your training is much superior to what I have been doing, so I should work, I wait for it to add kilometers.
Thank you so much
