1 gel pack!
That's it!
😅

This is all the glucose I brought along on my run.
Was I worried?
No.

Why?
1. No IOB
2. Short run (5k)
3. Good cell service
4. Familiar with the trails
5. Trustworthy CGM

The takeaway:
Familiarity with the activity (and the routes) means I don't…

🏜 Dessert Adventures with insulin 💉

Here's two of my desert-adventure-ready insulins...
with support from local cacti 🌵

( no cacti were harmed, however, 1 diabetic was stabbed with a needle 😉 )

BG levels check for a CGM calibration in the snow❄️
My metre gets a little bit too cold up here, so warming up in my hands for a few seconds is all it takes so it's happy for a check. ✔️
Also, I have blood to check in my hands, 🖐not in my fingertips.

A bit too cold🥶

That one time this diabetic ran the Catalina Mudathon

Here's a photo dump from all the sloshy highs and lows. 11 Mar 3023

Best part about the last few weeks of a training program, is the tapering.

🙌 oh sweet mercy 😅

Pace remains high, but distances are dialled way, waaay back.

When T1D's go climbing with T1D's,
there's often...

✅ A whole lot of talk about blood glucose.

✅ A lot of hitches & knots

✅ BG checks at belay stations 📉📈

✅ Constant, relentless safely checks ✔️✔️✔️

✅ Assessment of how anaerobic activities like this effect BG lev…

This training run was l o n g
-The longest in my program so far.

For the curious, over the past few months, I've been training for the Catalina Marathon in March.
I've been using Hal Higdon's training program ( @higdonmarathon ) which I used for the LA Marathon in 2020, …

The good news is, we're drying out here in soggy California.

The bad news is, it's still soggy.

So trail runs are a bit floody, and by floody, I mean muddy.

Extra stoked to get the 2023 adventure season up and running once this wet winter passes and we dry out a bit.

Primed 💉

While not as fast acting as Afrezza, these liquid fast acting insulins are useful in going toe to toe with stubborn dawn phenomenon spikes📈

And, if timed right, most of it will be out of my system a couple hours after breakfast so I can avoid the mid-morning lows📉…
