While HIIT (or SIT as used in the paper) is doubtless effective, it's interesting to see that when the warm up and cool down periods are added this protocol still requires only marginally less than half the time of the non-HIIT exercise (where HIIT is at 90%+ of VO2max vs 65% of VO2max for...

I've just sent a follow request

Great to hear how you're getting on :) I'm not doing multi-day rides, but for long days I'll dial back my basal to something like 60% of my daily total and not need any bolus at all during the day. If I were doing multi-day rides I could see dropping basal down to 50% or less and again not...

Re type 1, though the same underlying mechanisms will also hold true for type 2, the EXTOD conference was a good introduction to the effects one sees with exercise (and an interesting way to meet people at different stages of their exercise journeys from those just thinking about exercise to age...

Before the advent of CGM and when on twice a day injections (before the days of basal bolus) this used to happen to me from time to time, I would gradually become aware of being somewhere as if in a dream and gradually realising it wasn't actually a dream, not ideal, but once you realise it...

I don't eat a low carb diet, so wouldn't expect to have higher than usual ketones, however, 4h after my last long ride I had ketones of 2.3 mmol/l and was none the worse for wear (aside from the ride that is.) A day later I was 0.4 mmol/l. I've no idea what I am normally, I should probably check...

Is it about duration though with the bike rides (along with a lower intensity so you don't end up with a large glucose dump throughout the event)? I'm guessing a half-marathon is short enough that it can be run solely on the glycogen contents of the liver + muscles (which may well have been...

Sounds horrible, glad you contacted 111 and got hold of some antibiotics. Out of interest do you swab the area with an alcohol wipe (that they no longer provide but I have a pack of which I bought on Amazon) before attaching it?

Exercise will reduce or eliminate both my dawn phenomenon (i.e. gentle rise from ~3am) and foot on the floor (I see the very strong upward trend on the CGM once I've put the kettle on.) Interestingly the gradual dawn phenomenon part doesn't occur at all if I've done any reasonable exercise...

In my student days I would almost invariably be hypo by the time I arrived home from a night out, I think if I had my time again now with a CGM I'd actually realise (via the alarms) and fix it with a half of coke before leaving, but back then it was easy to be distracted and find the bar was...

I count coffee, though as it makes up such a small percentage of my overall carb intake I rarely bother dose for it (as I usually have acting insulin on board) - I count 5g for a cup of instant with milk and 10g for a latte. I've never tried to see what happens with black coffee as I'm not keen...

I just wanted to add that I always go low when travelling, so ymmv. Re the actual question I don't have much to add - it's always a rush once I am wherever I'm going (whether a holiday or a meeting) so very hard to gauge quite what's going on.

I use MDI, I don't see the appeal of a pump, but equally there is a fear of the unknown. One of my colleagues said he had similar concerns about going onto a pump but that he's very glad he did. I wonder if those with pumps (and those without) could list some of the positives/negatives they see...

Looks like this might be the paper in question? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10559747/ If you read the two references which that sentence links to, one says that consumption of honey produces a better lipids profile but higher A1C which indicates it has had a deleterious effect...

Yes, sorry for not quoting you directly. HRV is heart rate variability. I wasn't suggesting you were stressed in the conventional sense in which it's used (as in psychologically worried) but rather your elevated heart rate indicates you were doing "work". For others reading, both psychological...

It appears that the fundamentals of the whole idea are somewhat tenuous. This is quite interesting, especially when you see how often the same idea has come around and the buzz that is generated, and the repeated lack of delivery of a workable product...

Do you have your HRV for the same time period - I'm not sure how good HR itself is as a proxy for stress hormone production (the half-life of which is apparently very short - on the order of a couple of minutes.) I'm also not sure how good HRV would be, would be interesting to see if there is a...

We are all different, so it depends, but exercise that is more stressful (i.e. produces more stress hormones) (e.g. anaerobic things such as sprints, weights, etc.) will tend to cause the liver to release more glucose than is being used while you exercise, less strenuous exercise (e.g. aerobic)...

I would be tempted to use bolus corrections until your normal basal time, and then probably expect to continue to run high tomorrow as the overlap of the basal which wasn't injected last night will not be in effect. (I realise this is now too late for your particular problem, but for reference...

I assume you're talking about Apple, which makes sense as it's the topic of the thread, however for the avoidance of any doubt for those browsing the thread, Juggluco can do this on Android devices (libre3 and direct to an Android Wear watch): https://www.juggluco.nl/Juggluco/libre3/
