Muscle Fatigue and Type 1

[poacher_joe]

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick question I have been diabetic for 16 days now and prior to diagnosis I would happily ride 30+ km with no fatigue. Today I went on my bike for the first time and attempted a 10km bike ride and around 3km in my legs started to tire and I could feel cramp coming.

Is this normal? Also what bg level would you advise to be before exercise? I was 4.7 - but before I left I had 1 dextro tablet, when I returned after completion of the 10km my bloods were 4.6.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Joe

Hi Poacher_Joe

There is some good info on the site about muscle cramp and its relation to diabetes. Have look at this...........
