The past two runs I have had my dexcom has been a little bit of a hassle. On Saturday my dexcom fell of mid run, today as I was in the middle of a seven mile run my dexcom beeped alerting me that it had been out of range for almost forty minutes. I have clearly had more good runs and bike rides with my dexcom than bad, I'm just having a stretch of tough luck. I have a great idea of where my blood sugar is while I workout but being able to see a number while working out is great.
Training is going very well, my body is feeling great and my blood sugars have been better. I have had less ups and downs, my blood sugar is consistent which is always good. I definitely need to get a better handle of my temp basal rates however, the past two runs have ended with low blood sugars. I also have started using a protein shake after any workout, for a diabetic post exercise is a challenge. The timing of insulin and post workout snack are very challenging. The body responds differently to each workout so the same amount of insulin each time will not work. i have been using protein shakes for almost two weeks and have not had consistent results blood sugar wise. The label says that each shake only contains 5 carbs so it shouldn't affect my blood sugar. My question is, does anyone truly know or have some knowledge of protein shakes and diabetes. I'd love to know a little bit more.
