Hi, This is my 4th week on the pump and just beginning to understand how it all works and my levels are stabalising as well as reducing.
When I was taking injections I knew exactly what to do when exercising, I train at the gym and run long distance. However, since being on the pump I've been to scared to do anything as I don't know what will happen, I actually feel real fear and anxiety about it. At the end of August I have The Nuts Challenge to complete, a 14km assault course, can anyone advise what I should do?
I'm thinking I should disconnect for the challenge as some of it involves water obstacles and as its physical my levels won't increase, carry my gels and testing machine with me incase I drop too low and have my injections with supporters as back up.
Does this sound like the right thing to do?
