Thirty day challenge – Week 1

Aerobic/cardio, Anaerobic/resistance, Android AAPS, Automatic Insulin Delivery (AID) System, Boost, Carb-counting, Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), Dexcom, Dynamic ISF, Exercise, Fiasp, Food, General Diabetic, Insulin, Mountain Bike, Omnipod Dash 1 Minute

Summary

The first week was challenging to say the least. As I have increased my physical activity my insulin needs seem to have fundamentally changed, and this resulted in quite a few lows. I also had some tech issues, my Android phone had an operating system error and my Dexcom sensor wasn’t enjoying the resistance training I was doing as it was inserted in my arm. I reached my activity goals but exceeded my diabetic and nutritional goals.

Diabetes

Ideally I want to see a time-in-range (TIR – 3.9-7.8 mmol/l) exceeding 90% with an average in the low sixes and a standard deviation (SD) around one (1).
