[QUOTE="Circuspony, post: 1596717, member: 432241"] So when I read those slides above I realise why I could ride my horse well when I was sick, but I'm struggling now I've got insulin on board. When I was diagnosed my BG levels were usually over 25, only falling to high teens after exercise (I had a week where they treated me as type 2, so I got to measure the high points before the A&E admission). Since diagnosis I tend to start at what I would consider an upper end of around 8. After 10 mins or so of the more aerobic exercise I am absolutely exhausted. I've been blaming my fitness levels (although having ridden consistently for 40 odd years, it did seem odd that fitness would fall off after just 2 weeks), but now I think I just don't have enough juice on board. I'm regularly getting into work and needing chocolate to stop the hypo I can feel approaching. The dietitian did suggest a smoothie to me, but I thought that seemed like a lot of sugar at the time. I need to have a think about how to manage this....... [/QUOTE]
