Hi all,
I am going to try to explain myself as best I can..
I train 5 days a week alternating between weights and cardio (which I did pre-diabetes too).
Usually have no issues at all and levels are fine before, during and after training. On the days I do weight I tend to take in a few more carbs to sustain my energy levels. Sometimes I do this but take a little too much insulin and then end up having a mild-hypo before I train. I always correct the hypo but does this mean that all the carbs I have eaten will no longer sustain me when I train due to the fact that I have 'insulinned' them all away? Or another way of phrasing my question is "if you eat a big bowl of pasta but then hypo are your energy levels back to zero again and I might as well have eaten next to nothing?"
