Hi all
Any type 1 diabetics here who exercise in ketosis? I'm loving low carb, and just getting back into exercise ( biking, treadmill, cross trainer and weights) but was wondering if it'd be possible to do moderate intensity cardio such as biking or jogging without having to top up on carbs during/ after
Surely, if I was keto adapted my fat stores would be used instead of needing exogenous glucose/ or a liver dump?
Thanks
 
There are a few around on the forum, and if you read The Art and Science of Low Carb Performance by Phinney and Volek it should be possible.

I'm generally on about 100g carbs a day, so not getting into ketosis. Not practicable to maintain it with my work and travel patterns.
