I know that sounded weird, but I am a Type 1 Diabetic and I'm so frustrated. When I exercise I usually go 50 minutes on the bike and 25 minutes of weights.
To sustain my blood sugar, I have to eat a Power Bar Harvest before exercising. Its 240 calories with 45 carbohydrates. That usually takes me to about 185 BG. It lasts only 20 to 25 minutes before I start to drop. Then I have to eat a Fiber One Bar, which is only 140 calories and only 22 carbohydrates. It barely gets me through 50 minutes, then I have to eat a few Glucose sugar pills.
I am SO frustrated that I have to eat 380 calories to just exercise! Is there anything else I can eat or drink that would be better to keep me at a higher BG?
I've lost 53 pounds and I hate eating all this unnecessary calories. Help please!
Thanks,
Cenandra
