Hi All,
Just thought I’d share I survived my first day (afternoon) back on the slopes! I’d forgotten how much effort it takes just to put your boots on and carry your skis!!
Thanks to the forum advice I kept my Libre in a lanyard and my Omnipod in a sock close to my skin for warmth!
My levels remained mostly within range although I did skip lunch which lead to a slight rise, Libre said 10 but monitor said 8 so it wasn’t too bad.
My main issue today was my hands and feet. At least 5 times I had a horrible sensation where my hands/feet were very cold and painful. Other than wearing an extra layer or two is there any advice to stop this happening?
It was pretty leisurely day so will see how I get on tomorrow, I’m expecting a drop in levels as I often see a late impact following exercise.
