Off to see the Nurse tomorrow for my pre-trip inoculations.
The things I do for a good cause 🙂
I’m well into my training programme now and have been looking around for some energy bars to take with me on the trek.
As a diabetic I obviously can’t use many of the traditional brands as they are loaded with sugar/glucose.
I’ve found a company in the States called “ExtendBar” who have a range of Low Gi products which look ideal.
I contacted them to see if they could supply me but while they don’t ship outside of the USA/Canada they are available in the UK through Amazon.
This may be useful for other diabetics
