The only time to have insulin on board is at a board meeting (except if one is talking about riding surfboards or kite boards)!!More decos up whilst listening to Christmas songs and a few more presents bought. But I still don’t feel that Christmassy. I guess it’s too early.
My evening was a little disrupted and I experienced a great example of how exercise makes my body use insulin more efficiently.
I was planning to go climbing but my climbing partner got caught up at work. So at short notice, I decided to go to the gym.
For 45 minutes pre exercise, I reduced my basal by 40% as usual. I usually try to avoid having any insulin on board but my BG was a bit high (10.3) so I took a corrective dose at the same time as I reduced my BG. By the time I started on the treadmill, I had about half a unit of insulin on board. In 30 minutes, my BG dropped from 10 to 3.5 with no pump.
Lesson learnt: no insulin on board when getting on the treadmill.
I may restrict tomorrow’s exercise to a bit of walking.
In the meantime, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
How many carbs in a carp?
No don’t answer that if you want to keep any credibility.

Its hard when families break up robs and its the grandparents who are the ones to suffer your quote about having the grandkids first has got me chuckling xI don't see all of mine, very bad relationship/divorce and the mother turned 3 of the children against the family, it's so sad because I love them all, but I am so glad I can tat least see the other's.
A book mark I bought for a friend says : If I knew how much fun grandkids were, I would of had them first......lol
