- I do not have diabetes
I had whipples surgery last year following a diagnosis of SOD 2 & previous surgery to remove gall bladder and then a billiary bypass, and 13 ERCPs to place or remove 5 pancreatic stents or 21 billiary & 2 pancreatic sphincterotomies. have not been diagnosed with diabetes but frrel safe to assume it would be 3C.
I have tried to continue cycling throughout everything going on during the past 5 years, and after no cycling in 2017 I am now starting to get back on my bike. The problem I a having when cycling is nutrition. If I go out for more than an hour my blood sugar drops really low (2.5 - 3.5) - I know because I bought myself a testing kit. So therefore I thought if I was going out for longer than an hour I should take sports drink. But what happens is I 'bonk' & my blood sugars are really high (12.9) - what's left of my pancreas is obviously struggling to react & cope with a deluge of the different sugars in sports drink. I discussed this with my gp who ordered blood tests (HBA1C) which were normal (6%) & so end of discussion..
I've now received a ballot place in the Ride London 46 (can't manage 100 yet!) & so really need to get nutrition sorted.
Sports drink or no sports drink? Any ideas please!
