Hi Guys,
I've searched on the forum there is loads of advice etc and I know myself how to control my sugar levels excerise and I manage to do so fine with every other activities apart from cycling.
I can't seem to get the sugar in the quick enough I stop all my insulin all together and eat a good meal before a long ride/ race but then constantly during the cycle I can't seem to keep my sugars levels about 4-5 constantly on the low side and always dipping below that also.
For instance I can go through a pack of jelly babies and 5-6 bottles of still lucozade.
Just wondering if anyone has any issues like this before and could give me some pointers ?
Thanks
Andrew
