I tried when doing training for my Sunday league football club. I found that it was great tasting. What I also found that I was able to keep up with some of the fitter players in the team. Usually I am trailing at the back. The other point which I thought it helped me with was the recovery period after I trained. I usually ache and feel tired this time when I took hypo-fit I didn’t.

Seven windy days later, due to wind and rain, we had not made a single jump! We had run seminars, showed big-way DVDs, lain the formations down, taken photos in our Red Cross suits and generally kept everyone motivated. We had given out T-shirts and goodie bags, acclaimed as ‘the best goodie bag ever’! These included 2 Hypo-Fit sachets each. The original plan of single aircraft leading up to multiple aircraft had been ditched to proceed directly to a 52-way out of three aircraft, if the weather gave us a window - a brave call! Finally Saturday evening 19 May, we had our chance and kitted up excitedly. The jump came very close with 3 out of the 4 sides building. On Sunday the 20th the sky was blue and the sun was shining so we made the most of it and on the second jump of the day we completed a gorgeous 52 way red cross! The pics can be seen at www.Britchicks.org The pictures have provided a huge amount of publicity for the British Red Cross. We had 2 attempts at the 64 way British Women's record, but unfortunately the lack of warm up jumps meant we didn't succeed. However one VERY big bit of good news was that we managed to raise over £34,000 for the British Red Cross. This was done through a raffle, an auction, personal donations and just giving pages. Mine can be found at www.justgiving.com/FionaBirnie where the generous Arctic Medical donation can be seen. We're going for the record again in September and the just giving pages will be open until after that event in the hope of raising our dream £40,000 goal. Thanks again Arctic Medical for all your support and we will keep you updated regarding our further attempts.

Being the only Army team to compete in this prestigeous Navy event is an honor and a challenge! The team had an intense training schedule for 3 months prior to the event. This involved a lot of physical preparation prior to the arrival of the gun. Six weeks before the competition the training moved to more work with the gun. The team travelled down to HMS Collingwood for an intense week of training five days before the start of the competition. During this time the intensity really started to rise - involving 3-4 hard training sessions per day on the track. Injuries in this kind of event are inevitable, and as the teams physio I was kept very busy! Friday 8th June saw the last training session and the start of the heats. The heats were completed on Saturday 9th June and 7AA BN REME qualified for the final. The final itself was a close run affair, with the team coming in forth (out of six teams in the final and 21 teams overall), the victors being Portsmouth. The team used Hypofit Direct Energy syrups throughout training and competition for the Royl Navy Field Gun Run event. They were invaluable to keeping the team going throughout the arduous training and intense competition. Thank you Artic Medical for helping to contribute to the Army teams success in this event. Watch out for us next year!

I have been recommending my diabetes patients Hypo Fit as hypo treatment - they all prefer it, saying it is easier to carry on you, tastes great, works quickly, and you know that 1 sachet is exactly the correct amount of glucose you need if your BG has dropped to well below 4mmol/l. You need 15grams of glucose, then wait 15 minutes, and test your BG again. If it is safely ~5mmol/l or above, you are OK to take some longer lasting carbohydrate or your meal. If your BG still after 15 minutes is <5mmol/l, repeat another Hypo Fit sachet. I am a Diabetes Specialist Nurse and Educator.
