training for/running a marathon...and being hypoglycemic?

A close friend of mine recently asked me if to run with him in a marathon in November. I'm in ok physical shape but know that I'm going to have to train hard and he is willing to help me with that. (he's run several marathons in the past).

I'm wondering though if there is anything that I should be doing or not be doing because I am hypoglycemic (but do not have diabetes). i'm planning on consulting a doctor but wondered if anyone had any personal experience.

Thanks in advance!

    Since you are hypoglycemic I would suggest eating plenty of soluable fiber (oatmeal, whole grains, apples)

    Soluable fiber keeps you fuller longer and gives you plenty of energy
