Exercise induced hypoglycemia. I have been on a very low carb diet for 10 mo keto before that, I have lost pounds and inches. Been Cycling for many years and enjoyed the benefits from being fat adapted no need for carbs before or during a 4-5 hour ride. As I get stronger and faster I have a new problem if I go hard from the start of a club ride my BG drops from 7.2 to 5.0 in the first 30 min if I don't back off it will drop to 3.2. If I go easy like zone 2 for the first 1 hour I have not noticed the sudden drop for the rest of a 4 hour ride. This has happened 6 hour fasted or 1 hour after zero carb meal. 30 years T2 was on insulin have stopped all meds 10 mo ago the easy answer is to have a gel shot and ride on, not part of my plan to put diabetes in full remission. I'm 62yo male BMI 23.2 .
So is this something to work through like keto flu or is there some other new aliment I have now. Anyone else have similar issues let me know
