[QUOTE="jameshallam, post: 118884, member: 23748"] Background info: T1 Diagnosed 5 months ago Carb Counting: 1:20 at breakfast, 1:10 after 1pm 8 unit of lantus in evening Still Honeymooning I came back from a skiing holiday a couple of weeks ago (first time skiing with Diabetes). I was snowboarding for about 8 hours everyday, mostly on red/black/off piste so pretty tiring. I didn't have to take any insulin with breakfast (pan o' choc) or lunch (sausage n chips, pizza etc)! I also had to top myself up with chocolate inbetween meals. I then had to take 1:20 in the evening - normally high carb rice, pasta etc. I was shocked by how little insulin I was on, and I had better control whilst on holiday than i do normally! (I work in an office, so don't do a whole lot of exercise in a normal day). It seemed to me like the body is a lot better at controlling it's levels than i am manually. It has obviously lost the ability to do this with its beta cells but still manages very well during exercise. It was almost like a bit of a break from diabetes - only injecting 2 times a day (still testing quite often tho'). It felt pretty good to 'burn' of the carbs, rather than inject to cover them. It may just because I am still honeymooning. But I'm going again in March, so fingers crossed :) [/QUOTE]
