Hi guys,
My 13 year old son has joined a local cycling group.
He will be going out with them for the first time alone on Sunday however me and my partner are quite worried as we will not be there as he does not want us to come.
He will be cycling for between 2-3 hours.
We will make sure he has plenty of fast acting food, snacks etc and his blood glucose monitor etc.
We will reduce his insulin that day at breakfast which should stop him going low quick.
Any suggestions on what a good snack he should take to help avoid hypos.
Usually we are with him so don’t worry but this evening he did say i hope i do not have any hypo’s as he does nt want to slow the group down. I told him not to worry & have had a word with the group organiser.
Any advice or info will be highly appreciated especially with regards to reducing hypos when out cycling.
Thanks
