Either my insulin sensitivity is absolutely off the scale or my pancreas may still be doing something.
Cycled 98km in yesterday at a decent pace (27.5km/h, 17mph) with 1U of basal only, a very light snack of 15g carbs and a cup of coffee, went a bit like this, testing my usual 45 mins.
Pre breakfast 4.9, 15g carbs, 1U Basal, no bolus
Pre ride - 7.9
45mins - 4.6 - 1 9-bar
90 mins 5.9 - 1 gel
135mins - 3.2 - 1 gel - didn't see that one coming
Arrived at the Abbey, 68km, nice National Trust flapjack and coffee - 6.3 no bolus
spent the next hour playing around with the kids
+30 mins 6.6
+60 mins - lunch - 6.7, 15g carbs, no bolus, another hour or so playing around with the kids
Starting for home again (30km) 4.9, 250ml carb drink
45min - 4.2 - 500ml carb drink over the next section
Home 4.5 - another 9-bar
+30min - 6.1
+60min - 5.6
Dinner was at a thai restaurant, about 45g carbs from rice, halved my dose to 1.5U bolus, went from 4.9 to 8.2 2-hours later.
So overall yesterday I had about 250g carbs with just 1.5 U bolus. Also reduced basal in the evening from 5-4 units to be on the safe side.
Interesting.
