but I think that would be a bit too far for both of us. If you are going to be riding your bike a lot then it will result in lower blood sugars and you may need to lower your insulin dosage.

I'm in a glucose tolerance stage so if my levels dip to the low 80s I start getting a woozy head and feeling the shakes. There was one time that my blood sugar dropped to 35 and I was perspiring so hard that it was scary. The most difficult thing though is controlling the intake of sugar that you don't have a rebound reaction.

As far as mowing lawns is concerned, I agree that it isn't any fun and I doubt that I will ever have to mow a yard again.
