[QUOTE="Bebo321, post: 788379, member: 68730"] Congrats on signing up for the event [USER=47839]@FantomPoet[/USER] ! I am wondering if you message [USER=109485]@Brightside[/USER], he might be able to help - a very seasoned T2 cyclist having taken part in last year's TeamBG Diabetes Grand Tour: [MEDIA=youtube]cuX4166Gf_8[/MEDIA] Also check out [URL="http://www.teambloodglucose.com"]www.teambloodglucose.com[/URL]. Keep well hydrated and keep your pace slow and steady which will keep you in the fat burning zone. The fact that you had a low BG during the night suggests to me that you didn't actually carb up enough rather than carbed up too much (please pile in anyone else if you have a different take on this). If your ride involves hills/strenuous sections you will burn up glycogen (glucose) stores within the muscles (and also within the liver). If you don't take on board enough carb to replace this, then your liver will spend a good few hours trying to replace your stores through gluconeogenesis ([URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluconeogenesis[/URL]) - not a bad thing necessarily, but it could lead to a bit of a BG low as it tries to keep pace re-stocking the shelves so to speak. [USER=109485]@Brightside[/USER] will be coming up to the Diabetes conference in Nottingham on Saturday if you can make it - TeamBG will have a stand there. There will be other endurance cyclists there too if you need a bit of advice and inspiration. [URL="http://www.gbdoc.co.uk"]www.gbdoc.co.uk[/URL] Keep an eye out for this year's rides with TeamBG, and keep up the good work! :) [/QUOTE]
