I am Type 2 and in control through diet and exercise only. I am going on an 8-day trek a remote region of the Caucasus. Whilst the remoteness doesn't really bother me, I am slightly worried about long days of walking and keeping up my energy levels, as I can't eat high-energy snacks. Do any of you do this kind of thing and can advise me how best to control my intake and output of energy.
I recently cycled a mountain range for a couple of days and saw my BG go all over the place (never too high or low), but difficult to control through eating more high-carb food without spiking. I was testing my non-diabetic friend at the same time and it was interesting to see how more in control his blood was. Oddly, the harder I cycled (very hard) the higher my BG went!
I've never had an episode of hypoglycemia, so not too worried about that, but I don't want to keep flooding my system with sugar from eating the wrong food/snack.
Look forward to some advice 🙂
