Thanks for sharing all the great tips and experiences. As a T1D I'm using refined sugar in my energy drink during endurance sport (road cycling 3 - 10 hours) to keep my blood sugar levels stable. I find this easier to microdose with regularly and also easier on the stomach. As long as my bloodsugar is under control could refined sugar still has a negative long side effect on my diabetes? A lot of endurance athletes talk about hi carb lo fat plant based and tend to consume a lot of refined sugars.

Thanks for commenting, now I'm not a doctor so anything I say to your question is based purely on my personal experience. Using refined sugars doesn't concern me at all, ultimately it is just an energy source and when you are using that energy up it isn't a problem. I asked my Endo a similar question and she wasn't concerned either, interestingly, I went to the dentist to get a painful tooth looked at and he asked about my diet, when I explained he expressed an anecdotal increase in endurance sportsmen arriving at his door which he thought might be due to all the refined sugar which sits on your teeth for 8, 10, 18 hours at a time regularly which intuitively makes sense to me.... He is the only person who has raised a concern to me so far about my diet.

@@endurodiabetic9414 thanks for the fast reply! Yes my thought as well, as long as I'm using all the energy I consume and the blood sugar has a stable level, everything should be fine. I'm just trying to find a confirmation that all the sugars and the glucose metabolism doesn't stress or harm my body but so far the main concern I've heard is about the teeth... I'm trying to wash it down with a second bottle of only water and xylitol chewing gums.
