I am an insulin using type II diabetic. I normally drink water on the ride but sometimes bring a large bottle of Powerade Zero with me. I don't normally have low blood sugars during a ride. I also keep some candy in my bag and some trail mix. I like the Powerade Zero since it has potassium instead of sodium. The potassium helps with leg cramps.
