[QUOTE="h4kr, post: 1705455, member: 444241"] So I’m 2 months in T1. Did a weeks skiing which was insightful and decided this would be my week for getting back on the training. Do my first 5k on the treadmill, not fast by any means but felt good. Started at 10mmol with 2units fiasp on board. Dropped gently during the run: [ATTACH=full]25365[/ATTACH] 5 minutes later and dropped to 3.6 on a fingerprick so had a glucogel, finger pricked after 5 mins and no change. Had an apple juice as was back up to 6.3. Next did a quick 15min set of weights, again nothing too hard, just some bench and machine work. Decide I would go back to my protein shakes too, this is 7g carbs. So no biggie. [ATTACH=full]25366[/ATTACH] Can’t seem to keep the numbers up now tho.. Had a 16g carb protein bar and am currently cruising low? [ATTACH=full]25367[/ATTACH] I have some ideas, wonder if anyone has any input. My thoughts are: *Too much insulin on board before exercise (I did reduce by 30% - but also have just move to fiasp this week) *not enough recovery time before moving to weights from running? *the protein powder is also a test booster (aspartic acid) and this is reported to drop bg levels. >>edit had food to bring my numbers up, didn’t stay cruising that low ;) Cheers Chris [/QUOTE]
