Hi everyone. Heading off to the slopes for the first time since starting insulin and was looking for some advice. I've read a number of posts from various forums but some of the points are not 100% clear.....hopefully some people will be able to let me know their experiences.
1) Does boarding generally make your sugar levels go up or down. Read some people saying they thought they'd go down but had gone up instead.
2) Some people say ' have porridge for breakfast' but don't say whether they actually bolus for it?
3) also 'reduce basal by 30%'.....appreciate this will be different for everyone but is this a rule of thumb?
4) Along the lines of breakfast.....if you stop for lunch to you bolus or let the afternoon boarding burn the carbs?
5) Do you spend the week running high and say 'sod it's?
Sorry for so many questions but would really appreciate hearing people's experiences to try and help my week go as smoothly as possible?
Thanks in advance
