[QUOTE="rumbledethumps, post: 44125, member: 10074"] Hi people, I was diagnosed with Type2 diabetes last april (my twin brother was diagnosed as Type1 6 months prior to this). I enjoy rigourous mountain biking at weekends. Whilst out on a ride last weekend I got what felt like the honk. I was extremely nauseaus and out of breath after only two miles. I have never felt this rough so early into a ride, with literally no energy. I had to cancel my ride several miles in. Earlier that morning I prepared and ate readybrek (without sugar) and prepared myself (as I always have) a squash based sugar free drink. I have already had the flu injection about 3 months ago and have been feeling flu-y/cold like symptoms for the past 3 weeks. My kids have had colds and my wife was off the previous week with flu. Could this be the flu affecting me as bad as this? I have got an appointment later in the month to see my diabetic nurse. I have not been for some time. I guess as I have felt in reasonable condition I don't need to (and I have not had any contact from my surgery to visit them for checkups). I also have been told by my doctor that I should not monitor my blood sugar, as being Type 2 it cannot be monitored reliably from a chemist based electronic kit. How can I keep an eye on my condition if I cannot montor it? I really am at a loss with what I can drink when cycling to give me sustained energy and not exacerbate my condition. Sugar or no sugar? Im trying to hold the Type 2 down as long as possible. I have my eyes and feet checked. Im 36 years old and am reasonably fit (or was). It would be nice to hear from someone who can help as this is making me feel low. Cheers [/QUOTE]
