Don't get me wrong I know I'm blessed I get too!!!!But 3rd time changes needed for dosing for snorkeling. When I started going out for 3 hours, my blood sugars started climbing after about two hours. I gather it has something to do with the lactic acid build up that your body can't deal with and it releases glucogen and cortisol to deal with it, only since we don't make insulin, well you know..............But last time I didn't climb, in fact I dropped and went to the car and drank some chocolate soymilk and went back out for my 3 hours. This time I drank half a container before and dropped in 30 minutes.................so I went back to the car and drank the other half and dropped in 15-30 minutes...........sigh, so I went and sat in the car, waited for complete digestion and the rebound climb and after an hour of sitting went back in at an 8.7 and then was able to stay out for another 2 hours. I gather once you get used to the exercise your body doesn't/won't react the same.I will have to start out higher like I used to, reduce basal more, maybe eat something higher fat so it absorbs slower while I'm out there.....something. I really don't want to try to take something out with me to eat lol............and it's a pain to come back in to get something to eat.We're headed into winter so water will be a little colder, not quite as much sun all the time so I might not want to go out for 3 hours soon............or as much anyways</blockquote>
