No, that vigilance never goes away with blood sugar issues. I cut off high-glycemic carbs long ago...but we also still have to get enough carbs of the appropriate kind. My problem is I don't get enough... I am supposed to get 50% carbs in my diet and it is challenging to get that much... (50/30/20 carb/protein/fat split)
What I get on the bike just doesn't count - and I get a LOT on the bike. I learned the hard way last summer about how important that is - but of course I do enjoy very long rides and I am also prone to true hypoglycemia as well.
Intense exercise is the other part of my anti-diabetes campaign, and the length recovery period this winter meant that I couldn't really do ANY real cardio work for almost 3 month. I think my current blood-sugar issues are actually more related to that - and as I ramp my exercise back up that should change
