Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring - On-bike nutrition and its impact on blood sugar

[Bones]

@Lorichka6

My n=1 is that it is pretty quick because if I eat sugary stuff on a coffee stop - my blood sugar tanks when I get back on the bike. I’ve always assumed it was because I released insulin while sitting there enjoying the treat and then got back on the bike and started muscle contraction glucose uptake again and blood glucose took a nose dive.

Can you explain this to me a little better, because this always happens to me! After a longish coffee stop and consuming high sugar food, I feel awful getting back on the bike after riding for 5 minutes or so, and experience low blood sugar. So what is the strategy to avoid this? Other than don’t eat baked goods lol.
