I'm feeling bummed. Went on a group ride today which had approximately 12 people and early on in the ride I got light headed and was feeling vertigo and had to bail out. Reason being is because I'm a Type 1 Diabetic. My blood sugar (bs) when I got back to my car was 336 (normal is 80 -120) thus the reason for feeling light headed. I had told the group leader at a prior ride that I was a type 1. I joined the group, so I wouldn't have to ride alone; though I prefer being a loner due to having to stop frequently to assess how I feel. I guess the real reason I'm bummed is because the majority were all new people and it was embarrassing to bail out; especially because they did not know I was a diabetic and they probably thought I couldn't take the ride and panicked and bailed

Well I'm going to get on my road bike tomorrow morning to commute to work and hopefully that will lift my spirits.

Take Care all.
