Third Training Session - 9 November
Biggest problem is having been hyper and high all day. Gym session was planned for 6pm.
Ease Off for two hours before and one hour after - 4 - 7pm
Personal Glucose Target - complicated -
4 - 5 pm - 9 mmol
5 - 7pm - 10 mmol
7 - 8pm - 7.5 mmol
Plus had half a maple crunch bar before going.
Half of exercise plan with personal trainer - rowing, kick backs, bridge, leg extension.
6pm - 10.3mmol
7pm - 10.1mmol
7.30pm - 12.3 and rising up.
Biggest problem is rise in blood glucose post activity. Looking back I find a pattern of a rise in sugars post Ease Off - and remember this was a problem last time with Temp Basal.
So seek advice from Sporty CamAPS group - and find a troop taking 1-2 u post exercise to combat glucose dump and spikes from lost basal during exercise.
Third Training Session - 9 November
Try a similar Ease Off pattern and Personal Glucose Pattern - and a snack before hand.
Blood glucose before 12.7 and rising - not a great place to start - but hoping the Ease Off will combat any massive insulin dumps by the Loop.
Five mins rowing, 30 kick backs, 30 Fire Hydrants, 30 x 10kg bridge, 40 Dead Bugs, 30 x leg extension machine at 15kg, and hip abduction at 57kg, plus 5 min rowing.
MASSIVE SPIKE - 14.7. Decide to bolus 2 uinits at end of session (but later remember I used to bolus five mins before end of a run).
End up having a Baked Potato for dinner, which is always too hard to calcuate for me, so I give up. The rest of the night is high.
Learning for next time
Bolus 1-2 units, five mins before the end
Try without a snack
