I was first put on MDI in about 1996 I think ( the mind goes a bit hazy with all the years ( and injections -- LOL )I think Akins published his first book in the 1970s. Sorry I did not release that MDI were so new.
I think the most important thing you are missing is an appreciation and understanding of type 1 diabetes.I don't understand why someone with Type1 on a long term very low carb diet could not of run a marathon with the inslins that were used in the 1970. What am I missing?
that is good news _ i would be pleased to hear more on inspirational T1D people from the 1970's.In the 1970s, type 1s ran long distance and also competed in other sports at National level. They just worked out how to do it themselves. Information on diabetes and sport in the peer-reviewed scientific literature is still pathetically inadequate.
Good luck mate, how is the training going??I am doing London this year. First marathon as well
Good luck mate, how is the training going??
Good to have that core fitness ready for the trainingNot bad. Not really got stuck in yet. Doing some strength and condition ready for Jan!
That's my steady pace, hypo slowed me up a tad todayGreat pace!
Fab when it all works! I come a cropper at the gym quite often, thanks to being the spontaneous type....I always try not to have any active bolus insulin on board prior to a run, easier said than done tho
All about the trial and error lolFab when it all works! I come a cropper at the gym quite often, thanks to being the spontaneous type....
I was pleased with my Libre line on my 10k this morning - was 7.9 on starting, having reduced my basal to 50% half an hour before, then kept it at 50% while I was running - was 6.8 when I finished, at which point I switched up to 100%. Had a bolus of 0.85u when I noticed a rapid climb within 5 minutes of finishing....... and then gently dipped down to the 5s before lunch.
Am currently WIDE AWAKE thanks to being in the 4s - so much so I'm considering getting out of bed to I dunno, clean the house or something. Maybe I'll have a snack instead, hmmmm?
I always get this after a run! Sigh. Glad I can turn my pump down. One day I'll work out the ideal adjustment timings so as to get on top of it. Like that'll ever happen!
