First, let me start off by saying this post is NOT about Team Diabetes.
I am an insulin dependent diabetic of 24 years. I have been competing in sprint distance tris for about 3 years. I am considering doing longer distance tris, but am concerned about keeping my blood sugar levels up for that long. I read a book called "The Diabetic Athlete" but it dod not give me much specific information.
Any diabetic triathletes out there with experience or who know where I can get some better information on nutrition (before/during /after) and insulin dosing?
