I was so excited to go for my first snowshoe today! I went out to a friend's place, and we were out for just under an hour (50 minutes almost exactly). It was a beautiful day, and finally a little warmer (almost the entire month of January was super cold - I only went out skiing once so far!)
In terms of insulin, I wasn't really sure what to try as I've never updated the My Insulin Strategies page with anything I've tried before. But I did find a post from early January 2021 when I went snowshoeing and wrote down what I did. But that time I was dealing with hills, and I knew today the trails were going to be a lot flatter, so I tried using a 60% basal rather than cutting down as I suggested in that post. I was originally going to cut back my food and correction bolus at lunch to about 50%, but at the last second decided to a 75% bolus instead (again, I realized it was less hilly so I wouldn't need to be as strict). When we started snowshoeing, my glucose looked like it was coming down slightly, but then it went back up a bit, so I think next time I go there, I'll have to try a 65% or 75% basal instead.
I'm going to update the My Insulin Strategies page so I've got these noted there as well for next time. :)
