First off, could the MODS move this post if it is in the wrong section, cheers.
This weekend, (20th October) I have a Seminar to attend where, if last year is anything to go by, we will all be training pretty much solidly for 7+ hours (small 20 min lunch break).
However, I am a type 2 diabetic (7 years) which until recently was really well controlled and suddenly my sugar level just started to spike no matter what I ate or what medicine I took.
Therefore, as of 2 weeks ago, I was put onto insulin injections and have now experienced for the first time hypo like symptoms.
My concern is that in training for that long will cause my sugars to go low and that leads me to my question:
If anyone has been in the similar situation please could you offer me some advise as to how regularly I should eat whilst attending the seminar and what sort of snacks I should take with me in preparation.
Thanks, for any feedback, in advance.
