Anyone here also type 1 and had experience with this? Obviously with a non-functioning pancreas the insulin is all exogenous. Does this render carb cycling useless for diabetics? My problem is the overlap in doses. For instance eating CHO 1hr out, 15min out, during, then 1hr post workout means the first dose is still in the system (probably almost peaking) by the time the post wo meal comes around. Injecting at each CHO feed will therefore lead to hypoglycemia a couple of hours later. Apologies for the rambling, just hoping someone knows a little more on what to try/ if carb timing is less useful in terms of the ‘insulin spike’ that occurs with non-diabetics!
i would advice against consuming lots of Carbs inside a small time window. High spikes in blood sugar is exactly what you want to avoid.
What you can (and should) do is eat more carbohydrates (and this use more insulin) during training days compared to the non-training days, but don’t just following a ‘normal’ carb cycling protocol designed for people with a fully functional pancreas.
