[QUOTE="Wurst, post: 1038885, member: 44101"] I'm a avid cyclist , cycling to work every day (~ 30 km's per day) and weekends go for a long cycle or two in the warmer months (~ 70- 90 km's). I find if I cycle in the morning i.e. when the body is more insulin resistance I am hypo free and only have to watch out for hypo's later in the day, which are easily corrected. I only carry glucose tabs for both activities and have not used any yet (in 3 years). I have hypo'd a couple of times cycling home from work when I've encountered some serious competition and end up racing but as I was close to home I sorted them out on arrival. This week I've been cycling in minus 10 temperatures and tend to cycle in all weather conditions, head-wind being my least favorite. I dropped low carb around 1 year ago and noticed a decrease in performance particularly average running speed . I've put this down to weight gain and am actively reducing it. Cycling really helps me with diabetes management (look at my HB1AC results) and couldn't do without it. [/QUOTE]
