I have mostly been trying to figure this out on my own because everyone I have talked to about this, such as nutritionist and my doctor seem to look at me puzzled and have little to no advice for me. Some of the things that I&#8217;m struggling with is how much to eat during a ride how often do most type 1 eat while riding. I always seem to start tapering off around the 1500 calorie mark and I start slowing down ETC. I always eat some thing before a ride and reduce my pump to about 30% basel and I never try to start a with more that 4 active units of Insulin as I had to learn that lesson the hard way. I always try consume a gel packet 45 min to an hour and I am wondering if this is simply not enough food\/calories. My riding friends which are not diabetics don&#8217;t seem to have a problem eating nothing for a whole ride and burning about 2500 calories or so. Before anyone asks I make regular stops and check my bg and make any corrections that are needed and I also bring plenty of sugar pills and instant glucose gel with me for any lows that I may incur. One other thing I would like to is if any of you seem to get so exhausted that you seem to have trouble putting 2 and 2 together so to speak after a ride, and can get fairly moody after some rides. \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok I need a little advice when it comes to riding off road and I seem to be the only who rides off road in my town, with type 1 diabetes that is.:( First I am stubborn and no matter what I will not give on riding off road.
