I posted this in the FOOD section aswell, probably a mistache as they mostly discuss recipes...
You are an Athlete, serious about the sport. You find yourself getting up as early as 5:00 am for training at 6:30 am, you train upto 6 days per week, 2 times per day for upto 2 hours per session with possibility of losing contact with your coach. The training is always high intensity work ranging from strength work to cardio-vaclular. On top of that you go to school from 9 to 3 and cycle 4.5 miles there everyday bar never...
You have type 1 diabetes for as long as you remember.
OK, so that's the scenario.
- How do I control my levels when my timetable is so unpredictable and uneven?
- What food do you suggest I eat before, during and after?
- I may be going onto a pump soon, would you recomend that? if yes, which one? (I have my eyes on an Animas pump)
Thanks xXx
