[QUOTE="SPC123, post: 2385850, member: 529135"] Hi I am a type 1 diabetic who enjoys road cycling I do not have time for long rides but regularly will ride 15-25 miles to try and keep weight under control I have read about fasting training ie setting off without eating anything. If I do this I find that my sugars stay fairly constant and I do not need to stop for snacks or find my sugars constantly falling at all if I eat before I ride or inject any insulin at all I find my sugars drop all the time and I need to snack or take on board sugar every 45 minutes or so. Just wondering why a fasting ride works like this and if it is recommended for diabetics Any help appreciated Thanks [/QUOTE]
