Re: [RC] Diabetes and the 50/100 mile rider - Skippykemerer1
I am on oral meds. I keep GU and a couple of pieces of hard candy
with me in case of low blood sugar attacks. Generally know when they
are coming on w/o my gulcometer. Make it a point to eat something at every
vet check and drink flavored h2o whether I want it or not. Sometimes I
irritate my pit crew cause I'm fussing over the horse and they think I'm in
trouble but the goal is to ride on any way u can. Do remember my second
ride where I was low blood sugar and Pat went out 15 mins ahead of me she came
back in an hour later and wanted to know where I passed her. I
hadn't I hadn't gone out yet was so confused I kept going form horse to saddle
forgetting what I was supposed to do next so I lost a whole hour.
