I still get it, but not nearly as much as long as I replenish electrolytes and make sure I get enough carbs early in the day to stabilize blood sugar, and fruits to help the sharp drops if i was just exercising or if i was siting for a while. I'm not diabetic, but from what i understand blood pressure and sugar levels can work in tandem to do stuff like this. for refrence I'm 23, and a pretty average build
I'm still "dieting" since I have about 10 lbs to go. I'm not really on a full on diet, I just eat healthy and mainly organic foods. I haven't adapted my diet to cycling, so I'm probably not eating as I should for how much I ride (~180 miles per week). I just eat healthy and a pretty well balanced meal (I think) and only change if I start gaining weight or feel abnormally tired or groggy.
