To clarify myself a little, I've had type 1 diabetes since almost twenty years and run six marathons - most a few minutes over but once sub 3 hrs, so I'm not a complete beginner when it comes to running with type 1 diabetes. The advice to discuss the matter with the endocrinologist and not the LR board was expected but as has been pointed out, there can't more than a few endocrinologists in the whole world that would have anything to say about it, since the research about glycogen storage/usage and fat/carbohydrate metabolism during physical activity like marathon running with type 1 diabetes is insufficient. Also, to find other marathon runners with both type 1 diabetes and some ambition to not just finish the race, I think you need to go to a forum like this.
Where I live, the Freestyle Libre (a flash glucose monitoring advice, which uses a sensor like the CGM, but a smaller monitor to swipe over the sensor to see the glucose value) is available and light enough to bring on a marathon. I'm on subcutaneous injection therapy, but will problably change to pump in the next few years when they get a little more automatic.
So, to the subject, as I see it you can handle the fueling during a marathon in two ways. Either way, making sure your glycogen stores are topped before the race is obviously wise.
The different approaches would be to either keep your insulin levels during the race at a minimum and take in carbs enough to keep your blood glucose above 80-100, or to keep your insulin levels high enough to enable the maximum carb intake your gastrointestinal system allows.
Considering the benefits of running on carb metabolism compared to fat metabolism the second approach with maximized carb intake sounds more appealing to me, and what I've tried to do during my last marathons.
But even with generous intake of gels and sports drink I feel prone to go empty and loose speed during the last five-ten miles, and I feel I'm more sensitive to this compared to nondiabetic runners.
