[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2499921, member: 372207"] Came back from two days of sailing yesterday night, more on that (and some picture spamming) will follow in the parallel thread. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-have-you-eaten-parallel-chat.177870/page-100#post-2499931[/URL] Foodwise, it all went remarkably well, and diabetes behaved brilliantly! Started both days on the higher side, going up to 8 something because I didn't dare take enough insulin for foot on the floor, considering the high activity start of the sailing day before that insulin would be out of my system. Dropped quickly again from hoisting sails and stuff, so this worked out perfectly. It turned out my captain prefers cooking his own food over joining the guests, so for lunch I simply had my own bread with his cheese and some of my own dried sausage I got for my birthday. The second day I had the same lunch, but with a hard boiled egg added, I'd brought some hard boiled eggs with me as part of an easy emergency stash. Captain had planned a meal of noodles with fried veggies and shrimp, very nice of him to ask if that was ok for my diabetes! I simply asked if he could do the noodles separately, so I had the veggies with shrimps, very little of the noodles to nudge my bg up a little as I was on the lowish side, and added two of my own hard boiled eggs to make a full meal, just perfect! :hungry: Had a couple of beers too, and correctly guessed I only needed half as much insulin as I usually take for it. I think I should have bought a lottery ticket too, I made so many lucky guesses! Did some late night snacking in my cabin of dried sausage, yoghurt and a couple of chocolaty nut squares too. Over the whole two days I haven't needed to use winegums for hypos! My basal was a bit on the high side with all the unusual activity but that was easily solved with a couple of bites from an apple now and again, especially before high activity moments like lowering the sails and making the ship ready for the night again. It only needed three quarters of an apple, spread over two days though, and once two bites of a small cupcake when I had dropped to 3.8. (Dogs got lucky with the rest of the cupcake. :D) [/QUOTE]
