I experimented with all kinds of high energy foods, drinks and gels. I suffer from chronic gingivitis which I keep under control by an intensive tooth cleaning protocol... 1 package og gel have me intense tooth ache for 24 hours. Don't try gel in the middle of the lake for the first time!

I had chronic knee pain in the 1980s (long before my DM1) when I experimented with cleats with 0° float. No single cleat adjustment would work for more than 15 km. Then I discovered cleats with floating angles. First Adidas, then Look Keo. Incidentally, I have the same problem with Shimano SPD...

This even works under Android.

All Abbot Libre sensors are fully waterproof. I go swimming 3 times a week and put nothing on top. One word of caution: I can only swim backstroke when I wear my Abbot Libre on my "inside" arm. When my sensor arm touches the lane rope even slightly, the sensor is ripped out. All other swim...

Interesting post! I (59 yrs., DM1 since 2004, 183 cm, 87 kg, MDI) took up triathlon sprint in 2022 and Olympic triathlon this year in Norway - water temperatures between 14 and 16°C. I practice carbo hydrate loading (150 g muesli, 9 IU Novorapid) 30 min before swimming 750 m (Sprint) or 1.5 km...

I, too, bought a MiaoMiao to get continuous readings from an Abbot Libre 2. However, 2 Abbot 2 sensors died early and I stopped using MiaoMiao as I could not exclude a causal connection. I was lucky that I was upgraded to Abbot Libre 3, which has continuous alarms. Getting your glucose on my...

The Abbot Libre 3 software is so stupid that is does not connect to xDrip on my phone. I need an Abbot LibreLinkup app login on the internet so that xDrip can pull out the data. I did not have a mobile data plan in the US, so no CGM data on my watch.

Today I ran my first half marathon during my training. My plan was to run 10 k but then my form was good after 2 recovery weeks after my last triathlon for the season, so I made it a half marathon. Since I was in the US (Maryland) I had no mobile data, so no glucose on my Garmin Forerunner 955...

True. But the description of this Olympic triathlon is still very valuable even though it is from 2015.

I use continuous glucose monitoring (Abbot Libre 2 or 3) with my mobile phone as the reader. Mobile phones and smartwatches are banned by the official rules, so you have to ask the technical director ahead of the competition. I have performed in 5 triathlons since August 2022 (all in Norway)...

I, too, noted that my cycling lactate curve has a hump. I don't have any explanation yet. I still have no data on why my DIY lactate curves showed such an early rise at low activity level. I maintain my ketoacidosis hypothesis but I have no measurements to support it as yet. The important thing...

Thanks a lot for pointing out that my full name was in the screenshot. This wasn't intentional, but I don't mind. I decided long ago that I am not going to keep my diabetes secret. The results of the competitions including the full names of the competitors are online anyway; that's part of the...

Excellent! I, too, did an Olympic triathlon this year, but being M60 I needed 3:01:53.

Stig at terskeltest.no knows his stuff. He sent me instructions a week before. I was forbidden to train the day before the test. I needed to take the bus as I was to warm up under his supervision. On Monday at 8:40 we tested my lactate threshold for running and then my VO2 max. On Wednesday at...

Time for me to report the latest results. I concluded the season with the Triatlon Sprint at Os on 10 Sept 2024. This year it was cold and raining.The transition zone was a mud bath. So I was 2 min slower than last year My total was 1:31:04 h (2022: 1:29:08): 18:43 for the 750 m swim (2022...
