[QUOTE="onlytwintip, post: 199109, member: 31449"] Hi, I have been a type 1 for about 6 years now, I consider myself pretty controlled (HbAc1 < 7 all the time). I also consider myself quite sporty and I know the drill, do sport = eat sugar depending on intensity and duration. I've managed to find a pretty good balance over the years except that recently I have started road biking and I am very surprised at how by body seems to burn carbs. The best way to show you this is by example so here I go: * Leave work - level 7.7 * Walk 20 mn to train - In train eat 50 g walkers (25g carbs) + orangina (34g carbs) + decrease basal rate to 30% for next 3 hrs (=0.33U/h) * after 30 mn train journey + another 20 mn walk to home - at home with a level of 5.6 so eat a mars bar (35 g carbs) * Leave for a bike ride - 45 mn in level at 5mmol so eat a Luco-gel (30g carbs) * another 45 mn pass - Level is 3.5 so eat Another Luco-gel + 2 * 4g glucose tablets * Another 30 mn pass - at home with a level of 10 (bit high but so I just injected 1.5 U) The subject is actually a joke, I know my pancreas isn't kicking into life when I'm on my bike and catching up on years of forgotten insulin but it sure seems that way! Does anyone experience the same? Or have any ideas? Any help/suggestions are hugely appreciated. Cheers, Harry [/QUOTE]
