This evening I went on my first bike ride of the summer! Last summer I biked a little bit but apparently forgot to blog about it or note it in my workout calendar where I keep track of such things. I did note it in my log book though: looks like my first bike ride last year was on July 22. So I'm like two months ahead of last year!
For my first bike ride, I planned a circle route that should have taken me 30 minutes (but for some reason ended up taking me 45 instead). I used approximately the same insulin strategy as I use for skiing (although I think I did a 35% basal instead of 25-30), and it worked beautifully! Even taking the extra 15 minutes, my glucose was 7.1 mmol/L at the end of it all! :D
I was also really excited that I had no trouble lifting my bike back onto the hooks I store it on. That 30 Day Challenge really did make me stronger!!!
Also today: my brand new Freestyle Libre arrived! I waited until after biking to try it out (I wanted to shower before attempting to insert the sensor). It's counting down right now before the first use. I can't wait!!!
