So if your reading this then thanks for giving me that space. I wondered what others experience is of Closed loop systems and exercise.I set off today on a 7 mile walk, bolused less for breakfast, used activity mode. Blood glucose absolutely crashed, so quickly( Libre 2 o think let me down today as signal kept coming in and out and finger prick readings were out by what Libre told me when it did actually work) , middle of nowhere and as a result felt very scared, over treated my hypo and ended up with a blood glucose of 25, so all in all a horrible vicious cycle of fear and panic! That something terrible was going to happen to me. Also felt physically ruined.I have had type 1 since I was 4, currently mid 40’s and feel like I just can’t get a handle on it anymore. This never happened when I was on the old nova pens with act rapid and insulatard, I defo don’t want to go back to that but crashing hypos and if I’m honest the fear is starting to interfere with the things I like to do. I am also wondering if my age, female and hormonal changes could also be behind this sort of new difficulty.Iv have always tried hard to fly the flag that diabetes doesn’t stop me but it bloody well did today. If anyone points out there are Diabetic Olympic athletes out there I may thrown a massive hissy fit!</blockquote>
