My wife, JoLynn had a heart attack in Jan. and that brought on Type II diabetes, she's taking a "sliding scale" insulin and a Jovia pill. We carry her insulin in a bag with a small ice pack to keep the temp below 86 degrees (F). So far we have to worry more about her Blood Sugar going "TOO LOW" with the exercising! I make sure she has something to eat "every 10 miles" to keep the blood sugar level up above 90 as she seems to get ill and weak if it goes below 90!! You have to just, bring your "tester/strips/insulin" and test yourself till you find out how YOU do when exercising. We eat a low carb diet for both her heart rehab and her diabetes. It's not easy but it's doable! FYI.
