Bonking, Sugar and Hoopnetting...

[Regor]

I've only been hoopin a few times, but have found out just how much of a workout it is. And being a Diabetic, I've always got my sugar levels on my mind. Better for my levels to be a little high than risk going low.

What has worked for me for hoopin is to eat my late dinner after dropping the last net. There's enough proteins and carbs in a good Fish & Shrimp burrito to get me through. I also take along stashed away a number of crackers, i.e. "Club & Cheddar Sandwich Crackers". Just enough sugar and carbs to keep my sugars up. A banana is also good for potassium to keep your muscles going.

If you eat, you won't need anything but water. But if your skipping a meal over that long (overnight hooping), you'll need something to give you the goods to keep going.

Remember one more thing I pay attention to (the diabetic side of me)
~ Carbs turn into sugar (power) over a long period of time
~ Sugar is an immediate hit to your system
