Skiing Again

On Friday night, I once again went skiing. I decided to stick with traditional Cross Country skis, as I'm comfortable with them. This time, I decided to do full insulin with supper, and then run a basal of 0 units while skiing.

To start out, we went down one of the unlit trails at Kamview to get to the Sundial. (The unlit trails are a lot of fun, plus it's a faster and easier way to get up to the Sundial). When we got to the bottom of the large hill after the Sundial (I believe it is on what is called the Sundown Trail), I decided to do glucose. And I was about 3.9 mmol/L at the time. So we had to head back to the Chalet. (We took the Jackrabbit back, which is another unlit trail. It's the fastest way back to the Chalet from where we were).

Even though I didn't get to ski as long as I wanted to, this was a valuable learning experience. I found out that I need to do some insulin with supper (which prevents me from ending my skiing escapades around 18 mmol/L), but I can't do the full amount with supper or I end up too low. So next week I'm planning to do half insulin with supper, to see where that gets me.
