I have decided to record my pre-run insulin status as well because I have been having some discussions about exercise and insulin on Facebook with other Type 1’s. Hopefully this will emphasize my position and the affects of exercise and insulin.
Pre-Run – 04:45 am
Insulin status – last lantus 7:00 am 10/11/2013, last novorapid 6:30 pm 10/11/2013
Pre-run BGL – 7.0 mmol/L at 04:50 am
Distance run 8 km with the addition of 12 chin-ups.
I run a loop that includes a park with an exercise circuit. I will be including Chin Ups and Push Ups as part of my training regime.
Post-run BGL – 14.5 mmol/L at 6:30 am – A higher BGL post run is to be expected for the first week. It takes a while for the body adjust to exercise and diminish the fight or flight response.
Breakfast – 6 strips of streaky bacon and 3 eggs fried in Lard.
Breakfast insulin – 8 units of Lantus at 7:00 am, 10 units of Novorapid ( 8 as a correction for the 14.5 and 2 to cover the Neoglucogensis from the bacon ).
Lunch – 60 grams of Danish Salami and 40 grams of fried steak.
Lunch BGL – 4.1 mmol/L at 12:05 pm
Lunch insulin – Nil
Dinner – Mince bolognais, carrots, broccoli and beans
Dinner BGL – 8.0 mmol/L at 8:30 pm
Dinner Insulin – 8 units of Novorapid, 2 as a correction for the 8.0 and 6 to cover the Mince bolognais.
Bedtime BGL – 10.3 mmol/L at 9:15 pm
Bedtime insulin – 4 units of Novorapid as a correction for under estimating dinner.
