For me pre-bike ride this morning I mashed half an avocado, 4 eggs scrambled with butter, some spinach and salt over it. Honestly, hit the spot. No hunger pangs on the bike at all!

The lowest I've been is 1.4 ! I had been on a long cycle, made a quick lunch and had to walk into town to sort out cheques at the bank. SHOULDN'T have taken any bolus at all but I did...then started feeling off and bam 1.4. I just laughed because knew I was an idiot and wasn't thinking straight...

I don't have any breakfast during the week and feel fine until lunchtime. Will have a tin of tuna/sardines with salad/low carb flax bread for lunch. Will try to have evening meal around 18:00 latest so I can catch any protein spike. Evening meal varies - but usually green veg/cauliflower rice...

Has anyone found eating this bread makes them run to the toilet more frequently? I made two loaves yesterday and needed to use the toilet (urine) around 05:15 and 07:30. Thoughts?

Hi @paulpapa, are you doing PGCE?

Thanks - Yeah, I'm sure there is an equivalent somewhere here. Just want to try it out and see how it goes.

Where did you get soya flakes from?

Type 1 has me made me run and cycle further than I've ever done before. I make it a competition with myself - how hard can I push myself, how will my glucose levels respond etc.

Haven't got round to making this yet, but, it will be made over Easter most definitely. Excited :)

Yes more or less the same for me. I don't have breakfast and usually a salad with some form of fish for lunch, then for dinner it's usually greens and chicken/pork/fish. I tend to find Sunday the hardest day because I take a break from all sport and easy to go overboard with carbs. I usually...

Have you got a half unit pen? Definitely will give you better control and prevent you dropping quick.

What is your daily carb intake then? I would run 22-30 miles a week and definitely staying active and reduced carbs has enabled my honeymoon to continue...

When you say carb feast, what sort of things are you eating? Takeaways?

An average of 80 miles a week on bike, 25 miles running, and lots of walking around the classroom or into the city centre.

Having a half-unit pen has made a massive difference to my control. Any meal post-exercise, 1 unit up front would send my dropping rapidly but 1/2 unit seems to be fitting the bill perfectly!
