[QUOTE="FUD, post: 1942256, member: 323022"] This is why I took up cycling. As you’re not moving around as much and the attire allows you to take your testing kit and carbs in the pockets as well as fluids attached to the bike. If you’re carrying on with running, take fast acting carbs. Jelly babies are good as they’re a known quantity. After I was diagnosed I started on a treadmill so I was around others. And tested and different levels of exertion. So for me, at a moderate to hard running session I’d need 10g (2 jelly babies) every 15 minutes. If I ran slower I’d eat less, if I were to go over an hour I’d back that up with a snack (oats/grains) bar. And monitor afterwards as it can carrying on dropping. But if you get a grasp of it, it’s a great way to control T1, gets you fitter and good for mental health too. [/QUOTE]
