[QUOTE="slip, post: 1876668, member: 182669"] I have been known to water ski, it's a very strenuous but fun form of exercise. TBH I don't think trying to replicate via an exercise bike or rowing machine would be quite the same. I have found that my blood sugars drop shortly after a ski session if I don't manage my insulin/carbs before hand (like any form of exercise) however I'm not sure a pre-diabetic or a T2 would suffer that scenario to the same level either. 2 fainting episodes out the blue, might just well be that & never to be seen again! I fainted once pouring cornflakes into a breakfast bowl (as a kid), i still have cornflakes for breakfast :hilarious: So long as you have someone around you just in case - go for it - whats the worst that could happen? :smug: [/QUOTE]
