Hi Matt! I'm not Diabetic, but my daughter is and is also on the pump. She isn't as athletic as you are though. I'm no expert with the food issues, but, just from trial and error with my daughter(especially in the summertime when she's more active) I try and make sure she eats high fiber and high protein, it seems to keep her more level for longer. Also, we've learned if she is doing something active and checks her BG and is below 100 but still above 70 she treats for a low, it seems to keep her more level during the activity so she doesn't drop in the middle of it. That's just the experience I have with my daughter, you sound much more active, but I hope I helped! :)

I find that if I eat something with a higher fat and fiber content (such as nuts and cheese or a piece of meat and whole grain bread) it carries me for longer. Good luck finding a balance.

Fat, as in meat-fat, like in a sausage, because it has protein to sustain you, and the fat takes longer for the body to metabolize.

I'm trying to figure out sports & what to eat for my daughter -- she plays softball & field hockey. I got some tips from your friend Stephen. We'll have to keep comparing things & see what works. Great to see all you athletes!
