As all of you know I have been having an issue with Bg levels shooting up when ocean swimming 2-3 hours. I talked to someone that does marathons and he said I need fuel, insulin/food to stop my liver from trying to help so much a couple of hours before I swim. Then stop basal a couple of hours while I swim.
So it worked, mostly. I tanked with the first swim across, ate some ***** bears but then remained stable at 5.0 for 2 hours with no huge increase after either. So yippee! Now I need to add a quick carb about 15 minutes before so I have it usable when I first swim to stop that initial drop. So I will try that today.
I'm sure it will take some tweaking, all my other methods have taken some trial and error to find what works best. But at least I know what to do. And having a Libre to scan while I'm swimming has been critical for my long swims. And then of course in our world things always seem to change. But now at least I have a solution to work with!!!!!
