Does anyone have experience with lactate testing for endurance exercise?

Hi @marty313 , most of what you write flies right over my head but is looks like you're doing really well!
I just wanted to alert you that your full name is in the screenshot in this post, and it's very easy to find you on the internet. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/th...ng-for-endurance-exercise.198605/post-2644318
No problem if a conscious choice, but if not, you might want to crop your screenshot a bit for online safety reasons.

Good luck, and keep posting your results. I think it's very interesting even if I don't understand half of it.
Are you only testing for yourself or are you planning to publish about it?

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 game.
I am aware this forum is universally accessible. This is how I discovered the forum and it has been a source of inspiration ever since, and the comments and feedback I got in this thread has been extremely valuable to me.
I hope that I did violate any forum rules...

Congrats from me too, very impressive performance

Thanks for the graphs, I'll have a proper look through over the weekend but at first glance I'm curious about the lactate readings for incline running vs cycling, there's a factor of ~3 difference as well as a slightly different shaped curve - are these expected?

I suppose the difference is down to how much muscle is working, though I always thought that running worked more muscles, though I've no idea where I got that impression!

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 for me right now is that it is possible to have a "normal" lactate test curve despite diabetes 1.

I'm not a moderator anymore, but the team takes online safety very serious. However, it's not against the rules to be findable, just important that people are aware they are. I expect you'd be able to find my own full name in about 15 minutes, and possibly even my home address if you dug deeper (which would be creepy).
