I guess there’s only one way to find out. I know that I struggle (unsuccessfully) to keep my blood sugars in spec on my smart trainer if I am using carbs as fuel, no matter how hard I ride. Admittedly I do not do 100 miles plus events on my smart trainer, just too boring and to painful on the backside. In real life you are in and out of the saddle all the time.
Post #33 might be applicable to this. I guess the thing to check is your blood glucose a couple of hours after exercising to see if it remains high. Is that the problem you get using carbs on your trainer?
