Just for an update when had a phone meeting with my educator Friday, he quickly asked if I knew about pre-bolusing, maybe there is some psychic effect of discussion here?
we talked some of changing the timing of my settings changes, to be continued in a follow up call next week.
Trying to to figure out how to pre-bolus as I usually don’t know my carbs until my plate is ready, and not easy to ask family to wait 20 minutes to eat. And I have much different food/activity schedules weekend vs weekday and those vary as well. My wife and I did extensive garden work, my levels were like 90-95% in range but still with lows ever afternoon.
And still compared to many years previous, my time in range is significantly better since starting the tandem t:slim.
Those of us managing our own blood glucose levels instead of like most people, we wake up in a new day every day. I posted about my new pedal assist ebike and how it was a hard workout. For some reason my BG from Dexcom did not show up on my Garmin bike computer like it’s suppose to.
For the last 3 miles back home I had a tailwind so I turned off the assist. As I passed my driveway for another mile to cool down, my pump alarmed.
When I got to the porch to sit down I was at 60mg/dl. YMMMM glucose tablets.
Right now I am sitting at 80 3 hours after lunch. I need to mow and while the mower is self propelled I walk behind it. No riding mover for me. Walking is good but not at 80. I guess I’ll eat a snack, not a snake, and go out later.
I want to be like you biking and mowing at 80 (speaking from 17 solar laps behind).
My weekend workout was my wife and figuring out building in our garden a total of 94 x 3 feet wide of raised garden boxes framed by reclaimed shipping pallets (lined with plastic). Now we have to still fill 2/3 with rotting old firewood and cut trees AND filing with the mountain of dirt delivered today.
