Today was a good day! After much trial and more research (through Facebook groups and medical literature) I finally figured out my recipe for staying in my range during cardio. It turns out I may have been too ambitious with my expectations of not eating before some heavy cardio.
The Process I followed was:
- Set a temporary over-ride for my basal (40% reduction) and increase my target to 7.
2. I ate a pre-run snack in the form of low carb granola and yogurt.
3. Waited for my glucose to rise above 6 ( I started at 6.8mmol/l)
4. Ran. I kept the loop closed as I wanted to see what would transpire. All in all I think it went well 🙂
