Exercise....UGH!!!
the results are always lows in the 40's for days afterward....it doesn't take much. 20 min Pilates workout with Side Kick Series thrown in...total 30 min. I
I'm really glad I'm not on a tight rope...I would fall off every time. Roller coaster is more the norm here. all in the green but seriously. I'm more likely to go low than high.---of course I could lower my basals and I have been very very slowly.
My husband asked me what the lowest amount I could go before I would have to go off the pump....
The answer is 0.6 units....I'm currently at 22.35 basal Insulin to BG ratio is ranging: at 1:150 (insulin:blood glucose) that is how much 1 unit will bring me down. Some days that is higher....
Also: I'm on Novolog and I have seen blood sugar lowering action 5 hours after a correction bolus.....and even longer. I'm not talking about huge boluses either. under 4 units at a time.
I'm afraid to take insulin for a high blood sugar after 7pm. Sometimes I regret getting a CGM--isn't it better not to know?
Enjoy....I'm still trying...always trying ...sometimes succeeding...always hoping to get some grace from this effort.
