Cycling

Hi,

I am a keen cyclist and struggling with MDI, on Levemir and NovoRapid.

Basically if my BG is over 10 I feel lethargic on the bike and can't keep up on group ride, therefore I have some QA, but if the ride is over 3+ hours, by the end I can't keep up cos I'm eating constantly.

Just wondered what/how others cope with endurance exercise?

Is a pump better for this type of exercise?

Would self funding a CGM help? I could tell later in a ride if I was going low or just tired!

Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Yeah, I'm a keen runner. I've started a 7 mile run at 9.0 before setting off. Once finished ended at 16.0 even in the hot sun! I explained to HCP they said it was an adrenaline rush. Cos it seems to wear off later in the day!
