[QUOTE="Howski, post: 130384, member: 25920"] Well its Pen Y Fan via the res route. Been up twice via that route already so I know that the route will be pretty demanding (check the contours for the first mile or so!). First time I went up I tweeked a muscle and had really bad cramp on the way down, so the second time I took some of the glucose gel things and took 2 on top of my normal lot while walking and it pretty much went without issue. I've not tested during walks before but last weekend I walked for just under 6 hours (easy walking) with only water during. When I got back I testes and my BG had only gone down by about .5, however 2 hours after it had dropped to something like 4.6 and I was feeling tired. I normally over prepare for walks so don't worry too much! I believe in the 6 Ps and not having done this on low carb or since being diagnosed I'm researching like mad. I'd not want to have an avoidable incident and have to be saved by the flying octopus! What I was most worried about was by loading up on carbs - I'd cause an unnecessary spike and send my BG in to the danger zone before I even lace up my boots. However on the other hand as a lot of websites say that low car and lots of exercise can be a bad thing I wanted people's experiences before making my mind up [/QUOTE]
