[QUOTE="Naeem Sonpra, post: 2162704, member: 516440"] Hey everyone. I’m really glad to be here and thanks for the feedback. I’ll share a bit of the race that was held this weekend. It was a 100km with 1385m Elevation gain. My BG levels was 6.8 mmol/l. I had a small energy bar just to keep the levels in line. There was about 4000 + cyclists who took part. It wad held in Pretoria (South Africa). Along the route I was sipping on the energy drinks and had a banana, muffin, small energy bar and 2 energy gels. I kept on thinking, ‘Is my bg levels ok???’ At around the 75km mark I could feel a twitch on my inner thigh muscle. There was a 1km climb and it was a 22% gradient. As I begun climbing, the twitch in my thigh kind of got furious :) and I stopped pedaling because I was afraid of my leg locking and not able to move, which would cause me to fall off my bike. I walked up the hill for about 350m and got back on the bike seat again and pedaled over the hill and to the finish line. Now and then I could feel the spasm. My time was 3h05. I really enjoyed the route with some beautiful mountain views. In 2 weeks time I will be taking part in another race. I will give the Keto-aide a try. I’m also hoping in the near future, the price of a CGM can be reasonable, so that every Diabetic can use it. [/QUOTE]
