I am a reasonably experienced cyclist, I have done many 100 mile rides in the past but last year (prediag) I struggled with energy and on several rides crashed dramatically, hitting the wall and not being able to turn the pedals at all, heart rate going through the roof and brain all fuzzy. This was rectified at the time with food and a coke. After being diagnosed this month its made me wonder if my lack of energy on the bike last year was also due to T2.
Looking back through MyFitnessPal food diaries I have realised I was eating too many carbs, so this week after finding this community I have tried to rethink my eating, reducing carbs by a third to see how things go, but my question is how do you prepare for an endurance event and keep your body supplied with enough energy during an endurance event in a safe way?
