Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rose Harmer" data-source="post: 2482372" data-attributes="member: 520592">Morning all I’m doing the Lands End John O’Groats cycle in September this year and will be cycling around 110 miles per day.  My cycling partner (Type 2) and I (Type 1) are building up the miles and now regularly cycle 60 plus miles at the weekend.  We’re very determined to train sufficiently so we get to enjoy the final ride!  Currently I reduce my fast acting insulin from 8 units to 2 the morning of the ride, and have porridge and juice for breakfast.  It means my initial blood sugars are high but they gradually reduce during the ride without that awful need to keep eating jelly babies or energy sweets which I hate needing to do.  If anyone has experience and advice about this sort of cycling I’d be very grateful, especially since we’ll be needing to up the distances from now on….. Thanks all</blockquote>
