It's not looking good. I'm only 12 miles in and already in hypo territory.

I hate when that happens, do you have plenty of carb supplies?

I've a couple sandwiches and a packet of crisps besides the usual jelly babies but they were supposed to be my "get me home from Dunham Town" fuel.
Sat here half hour later and its still low. Pita.

I've taken to carry loads of dextrose tablets for when that happens, takes a surprisingly large amount of carbs to push levels up when riding.

Can't carry those as I've no teeth
Got to Dunham Massey and I'm still fighting low glucose. 2.7 atm. But, having my sammiches now so they'll see me home to Bolton.
I discovered a twix in the "hypo pocket". Best before 07-19. One thinks one's hypo pocket needs updating.

The twix has so much sugar that it will probably never go off.

71.9km done and I feel like dropping dead.
Who's stupid idea was it to go cycling in this heat?

Well done for pushing through. I have terrible problems with hypos in hot weather, I had a 2.7 today, just sitting at my desk, so skipped the evening ride.

 

[Rob and Alison]

phew. Just managed to get our July rides posted.
The plan is for two rides of 50km plus this weekend in which case we will try to post them up on Sunday, to save getting another reminder.

Yep I think it was the heat today. The first half of my trip was entirely downhill and easy. I was barely pushing on the pedals and struggled to keep my hypos at bay.

Don't think I've had a day this bad in a long time
Those corned beef sammiches saved my bacon.

Is that the phone app for the libre? I only have the reader, as I don't have nfc in my phone.

Also I think, possibly due to the confusion with your temporary time warp, you may have missed @Saluki two posts before @Jon George (credit where credit's due)
