I ran a 4-mile warm up, checked my blood sugar \u2013 it was 130 \u2013 took a gel and started my run. I ran the 6.5 miles without stopping and although the pace wasn\u2019t supposed to be hard for me, it was. When I was done I checked my blood sugar again and it was 172.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On Thursday morning I am running my last long run before the marathon.\u00a0 The fatigue I felt during my run this morning doesn\u2019t bother me so much, I imagine that it\u2019s a result of all the hard training &#8211; Friday\u2019s half marathon and that fact the I ran intervals yesterday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">What\u2019s bothering me, really bothering me, is my blood sugar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When I finished my run this morning I expected my blood sugar to be somewhere in the vicinity of 100 or at least back to where it was when I took my gel. That would mean that during a long run, or a marathon, this would be the time to take another gel. In all of my past marathons, and during training I took a gel every 6-7 miles (40-50 minutes). That routine kept my blood sugar between 130 and 200, and kept my body fuelled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">But now it\u2019s as if something has changed. I run 10 miles and my blood sugar doesn\u2019t seem to go down at all. During the <a href=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/michael\/blogs\/exercise-blogs\/the-wind-and-the-blood-sugar\/32005\/\">half marathon<\/a> when I stopped to check my blood sugar, 5 miles after my only gel, my blood sugar was 187.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You could think that this was a good thing \u2013 not going low when I run, but it\u2019s actually a disaster. If my blood sugar doesn\u2019t go back down after 6-7 miles I can\u2019t take gels and if I can\u2019t take gels, I won\u2019t have the energy needed to keep up my pace.\u00a0 I might not even have enough energy to finish the race.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This has made me very nervous, especially because I\u2019m running out of experimentation time. If I had a little longer I might try playing with my temp basal rate, setting it at 40% or 50% instead of 30%. But I\u2019m too scared to try anything like that now. So I guess I\u2019ll run my last long run sticking to what has worked in the past and hope that all the pieces fall into place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Right now, it feels like my diabetes has become exercise resistant.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":53098,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1501],"tags":[82,575],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.9 (Yoast SEO v22.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Exercise Resistant Diabetes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"But now it\u2019s as if something has changed.
