One hears or reads here daily that we need to stay hydrated before during and after runs/races. None more so than a diabetic. Hydration for a diabetic helps the body regulate blood sugar by flushing out the excess. And there in lies the problem for us. In a Foxworthy moment: If your idea of an all nighter is sleeping through the night without needing to get up and pee……………..You might be a diabetic! Actually it is a double edged problem for us diabetics. We must take in carbs to fuel the body during the run or race or risk becoming hypoglycemic AND we must remain hydrated or risk heat related problems. Now the idea is to run and not stand in line waiting to pee, nor needing EMT and sugared soda etc. So how do we reach that 3 sided balance, between fuel, hydration and NOT needing to pee?
