Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jaylee" data-source="post: 2757500" data-attributes="member: 101136">With my T1 head on & basal in my body working regardless..Colds & flu (flu can affect appetite fro me.)From my reasoning it’s important to eat & get some nutrients down.Stomach issues. With the aforementioned with insulin onboard, my tendency is to fast. (Till it’s passed.)However, there is no option other than to take down a few grams  dry carbs. Especially following “sick day rules” with basal as during illness BGs can rise.. a slip in the wrong direction on dose can sometimes cause recurrent lows..Having said that. I sing in 2 bands & fast for 12 hours on a gig day, only breaking it after the show?Like singing for supper which is normally grabbed at 2am..The reason being, digesting food can restrict the diaphragm with breath control whilst singing.Also the possibility of active fast acting insulin on board during a gig could throw me with hypos?Neither do I drink alcohol during this time…Ironically, most drummers I work with like to carb up, prior to a show..</blockquote>
