[QUOTE="LoisCoxx, post: 331328, member: 39063"] I'm 17 and type one of five years, and i've recently started going to the gym to get healthy and tone up in the pre post christmas period and beyond hopefully! (i'm 5ft 7 and nine and a half stone which i [u]think[/u] is normal so i'm not aiming for a lot of weight loss!) i'm usually in the gym a good two hours including changing and showering (and steam room of course!) so i probably do a good 1 hr 10 mins cardio and weights session and then another 20 mins swim. sometimes i do a 45 min spin class (hell!) anyway i was just wondering if any of you had any tips on how to keep BGs up and constant when i'm at the gym and also in the time after. i don't really want a lot of calories or heavy snacks as i never fancy it after and they make me feel sick during! i already take glucose tablets into the gym with me, but i hate them and they never ever seem to get my BG up quickly enough, it's annoying.. i often hypo during/as i'm changing after and have to run to the changing room to drink juice or in the two hours after. Sorry for the long rambly post and thanks in advance! Lois xxx [/QUOTE]
