Hiking Paria Canyon
Hiking Paria Canyon
Hypoglycemia question?
I have hypoglycemia, and I am going on a week long backpacking trip in the Paria canyon. Usually I can prevent myself from crashing by eating snacks often, lots of fiber and protein, eating very little sugar, etc. However I want to know if there is anything special I need to be doing on this hiking trip. I know I will need to eat often - but will the usual hiker foods suffice, or do I need special foods to keep myself from crashing?
A bit of backstory - the reason I ask is because last year I crashed big time while hiking in the mountains. At that time I didnt know I had hypoglycemia so I wasnt prepared. I only had a sandwich for lunch and 1 or 2 sugar loaded quaker granola bars for the whole day. It got to the point where I felt like I was going to pass out, became delirious, and at the end of it I threw up.
Hi renniska,
You would be wise to keep some glucose sweets/tablets with you and suck one every couple of hours.
You can get them from any pharmacy (The Lucozade ones are the best tasting) but any glucose tablets will do the trick. Be sure to take enough to get you through the entire trip.
Have a great time.
love mel.X
