Having been recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and taking Metformin SR 500 I'm keen to understand the possible effects on my cycling
Prior to my diagnosis I recently completed a number of rides in varying lengths from 36 to 73 miles
I have a turbo trainer and will be using that over the winter to prepare for a number of long rides (4 sportives planned for 2015 so far) - and will be able to monitor the effect of some sport supplements / drinks I had been using
If you use gels, how have they affected you?
Is there a sports drink that worked well for you?
I would be keen to hear from any Type 2 Diabetics that actively cycle distances of 10 miles or more
