Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Hi I promised I would ask on behalf of a good friend who is type 1 diabetic. When running on a race she gets really nervous beforehand and noticed this has a massive effect on her blood glucose levels. Not so much at the start but finishing her glucose levels are really high. Usually she has close control and keeps between 4-7. After her most recent 10k after finishing her blood glucose was mid 20's ( at start she was within range) she thinks it's to do with effects of adrenaline you know like flight or fight as she does get nervous, just wondering if anyone had experience and found the same? When she runs on her own (anything up to an hour ) it doesn't have this effect .it's actually put her off entering any more 10k races.

Is this something others have found?

She needs a good chat with a diabetes specialist nurse or doc. General advice would be unhelpful and potentially dodgy, although of course needs to be congratulated and encouraged about exercise.

Having said that these guys may be worth linking in with:

She has excercised regularly for a number of years and is a strong runner but just wondered if anyone else had experienced high blood glucose with the stress of running an organised race. she doesn't want advice as such so maybe I miss worded the initial post. she has decided to run for own enjoyment and not to do organised races anymore.running 10k or an hour or so on her own doesn't have the same effect and her blood glucose levels are stable. Maybe she is just odd!
