Hi everyone.
New to the forum. Have had type 1 for about 21 years.
Thanks to lockdown I am upping my exercise level to a level way above anything I have ever done before (the silver lining in the lockdown cloud for me)
Does anyone else suffer almost immediate and cataclysmic low sugar levels when they exercise?
The recent heat definitely plays a part so I am making an effort to stay cool and take on board a little extra cares and reduce my insulin ratios but generally as soon as I exercise I find that my sugars dive bomb.
I am wanting to start training for triathlons (the shorter ones, don't think I could an ironman) and I am wondering how everyone else manages the sudden request for energy and sugar when they exercise.
Thanks in advance.
Dan
