Hi all,
Diagnosed about 18 months ago I think, HBA1C tested at 52, no meds, just diet and exercise, and 6 months later it was down to 43, so GP has let me try to get it down without meds.
Its been going ok, I have a high reading in the morning before breakfast, about 9.5mmol but it can come down during the day, and usually swings between 6.1 and 9 dependant on what Ive been up to.
`So havent been exercising as much as I should with various life stuff happening, and I slip up here and there with what Im eating, so I know I need to tighten up on both of those things.
I went for the first longish mountain bike ride last week, and normally pre diagnosis I would have a cereal bar or something worse with me, to eat half way. Cant do that now, so only had water, and was going quite hard, but I totally bonked about 3/4 of the way round, and the last hills I had to get off and push.
Question is, for long endurance exercise what can I do to keep me from crashing?
