Believe it or not.......you are in a really good place with your diabetes. Loose some weight if you can while you continue to monitor your diabetes as you've been doing. Oh yes....ride....ride.. ride as much as you can to burn up as much sugar/carbs as you can.
To make you feel better......I fight to stay at 7.6 A1C with my weight at 350#which is why I have to take insulin (I'm type 2) which is rare. I can't ride as much as want to due to my legs/knees being shot from bad genetics and long hours on concrete.
