It's probably hard for him but if he's running with you, that's a good advantage for you. You should make him schlep your dexcom receiver.

I'd ask too if I were running with one of us, it's sort of natural? I ran with a group of runners, most of whom weren't too diabetes oriented but it made MrsAcidRock feel better that there'd be someone around to call 911 if I keeled over.

Just finished a 15 mile run and I feel really good. I tried the Honey Stinger energy at about mile 6. They seemed to give me a bit more energy and I was able to push my pace a bit. I ran without my Dexcom sensor so I'm not sure exactly how my sugars were, but checked at 6 miles and I was good. Now I just need help trying to get my husband off my back....he hates that I push myself. And I don't think it's fair! I can't find the right words to explain why I want to run, he spends our entire runs asking if I'm ok, yeah it's super nice of him but DAMN it makes me feel weak. Any helpful thoughts or words? Oh and I have Lupus too...

Thanks!

Many diabetics who run marathons will be running the half and full Carlsbad Marathon tomorrow morning, supporting insulindependence and glucomotive. Right now it is raining buckets here. I hope it clears up.

@med. I don't have a CGM and I don't want to waste time and I don't want to stop.

Great job, Mike!

Just curious - why don't you test while you're running?

Comment by Jerry Nairn on January 17, 2012 at 11:42am

That is so cool, Jeff. I'm sure you and your brother will have a memorable experience. One of my younger brothers, the only other one who does marathons, will arrive here tonight, and I'll be trying to get him out for a run.
