Then comes the day off after a strenuous ride and your body metab is going crazy because it's still cranked up but your insulin dose and diet remains the same. In short, (for me) it's like exercising when you are not. I've only had one 911 low and that was following a fast 30 last year and I didnt eat enough or quick enough to adjust, it was early in the season.
The little I have learned from my friend, and his kid too, is that it's something you need to be on top of every single day. I wish you luck, it's scary to me.
He exercises a lot, he runs, and rides, all the time. He says riding keeps him feeling better longer than running. ???
