I have type 2 Diabetes that I mange by diet only and since being diagonsied 2 years ago my readings have come down from 41 mmol to 34
I can cycle 25-30 miles with no real issues, however I find that doing 30-40 miles I can suffer from "tired" legs and have also been known to cramp a couple of hours after a ride.
As a norm I have porridge and a slice of toast with peanut butter on before the ride and during the ride will have a few brazil nuts and drink a hi5 zero . Normally stop halfway for a pub meal etc and when finish the ride either toats/bacon sandwich and a homemade flapjack.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong or can to to try and eleviate/combat the issue? Could the cramping be due to not taken suffiecnt fluids during the ride?
Maybe my age doesnt help as Im 55.
