I think you did great, under the circumstances. Type 1 can be a huge limiting factor for people. My hubby is an asst. coach for our local JDRF chapter's fundraising cycling team. As a result we have become friendly with a lot of people who have type 1 or have a type 1 person (or persons) in their family.

Do you have a JDRF ride team in your area? This would be a perfect group for you to become involved with. No one would understand your needs better or be better prepared to assist you during low and high blood sugar episodes mid-ride. They would stop with you until you were able to get things under control. Our JDRF group is truly one of the classiest bunch of folks I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Next year I am planning to do the training, fundraising, and ride with the team, too.
