    Managing diabetes and exercise

    Im currently Pre-diabetic :) My blood sugar tends to dip massively when I'm excersising, so I take snacks with me. If i've pushed myself too much though I tend to get really high bloodsugar readings the day after, that dont want to come down no matter what I do. Diet wise, I'm trying to stay...

    Managing diabetes and exercise

    Thats definitely reassuring to hear! I tend to take snacks down with me, some sugary ones and not so sugary so I can boost my energy a little :) I can manage about an hours of riding so far, I think the fact the horses Im loaning have gotten fitter might have something to do with it XD

    Managing diabetes and exercise

    Trying to get fit again is ridiculous. I've been loaning a horse since January and go up 2-3 times a week to ride and look after them.

    Yep :/ I get all shakey, weak and feel like I'm about to faint so I have a glucose tablet, something sugary like a small chocolate bar or a banana and then some proper food and then I feel a lot better in 20 minutes or so. I haven't had any crashes like this in a few years though.

    Very up and down at the moment

    Hello everyone, So I got "diagnosed " with pre-diabetes in winter 2014. My then doctor didn't seem to particularly care and didn't offer much help other than " eat slow releasing carbs lol " before kicking me out of the door. I had a rough few months for a while , then everything has been...
