Running on the beach in the morning

I just walk into uncharted territory. And running technique. As I have already said often times (and if not, then I do that now), I am the absolute night-runners. Just stupid that most running events take place in the morning. Running in the morning was always the horror for me, even school sports I then almost hated when he was held in the morning. At a casual drive-lap before the work was never previously thought.

Last week I was on leave, and have the chance taken the tackle with the morning exercise again.

And what the offers better than the Danish North Sea beach just after sunrise? The first task was but to settle the matter with the blood sugar. My fasting values ​​are usually between 90-120mg / dl. Not exactly an optimal value to tear a few kilometers. 

However, I need every morning to Morgengupf which the stand-up phenomenon (attention, not to be confused with the Dawn phenomenon) counteracts.

This I have omitted a precaution on my first morning run time, because sport strengthened as we all know, the insulin action. The pump I have also stored. Insulin free in the morning run virtually.

Beach of  Denmark

My journey started with a 120. At first everything went amazingly well, but then began what I had actually expected. Nausea, heavy legs, general listlessness. Yep, that's why I do not like sports in the morning. That's why! 'M Just not as the Early Bird. In addition, the blood sugar began to rise promptly and leveled off at 190mg / dl, but what was actually Ok.

The nausea read after a short break and a deep breath of fresh sea air after luckily, and I slowed my pace anyway worm-like (beach walking is harder than I thought) a little more and tortured me downright goal.

Rapid increase in blood sugar after running

Even though I was running rather flop as a top, I somehow also enjoyed him in a way. Well, the wonderful setting has certainly contributed a great extent. Beach, wind, sea, waves crashing, seagulls ...! Besides, I have no sport requires MUs, which I found very pleasant.

2 days later I got my second attempt started without any significant improvement. However, my many morning runners have assured that the body needs to get used to it, if he is accustomed normally durchzustarten the evening and the morning otherwise rather runs on the back burner. Well then, hope dies last.

My blood sugar is the way again risen sharply after two rounds. With the increase in blood sugar after exercise I've still struggling, although I've played around a lot. And though I have injected me after each morning run equal to 5 units (which is far higher than the actual insulin deficit by placing the pump), I could not avoid the blood sugar increase to 300mg / dl. Actually, I would give the bolus shortly before the repayment unit, unfortunately I forget but as often.

Royal sounds stupid blood sugar spikes and loose barrels

Have long been posted keinn retrospect more. Well, not every week is exciting. Well, this was exciting now not particularly, but varied. 4 of 7 days have remained at least hang in the sugar head ...

Include Queen. LIVE ... IN CONCERT .... Sky, childhood dreams came true (I'm old?). And again a point on the "What I want to do in life yet" list checked off. The key to reaping Mr. Mercury himself to see, I am unfortunately never came. And no, this great voice can ever replace, but Adam Lambert has done his job very well. 

Lambert is different (I would call him sometimes as a mixture of Elvis, Goerge Michael and Frank'N Furter), but not bad. Voice and performance were also ne force. Royal. But more importantly, Brain May and Roger Taylor. Old they have become, but the men still know how to get the crowd to romp. Hach, I'm seriously impressed. Blood sugar excitement was high accordingly. Or was it perhaps the beer?

Queen and Adam Lambert

Comrades: The good weather at the River Elbe. This time not even the North and Baltic Sea. But what is finally living in the most beautiful city in the world (or at least near) if you have the beach but just around the corner !?

Hamburch Pearl

Gelaufen: again more. But still not enough. Slowly I come in again and I am nurturing the goal of finding a 10km run the perfect starting blood sugar and Basalanpassung without landing in a Hypo. If the whole then also works aerobic and anaerobic I'm satisfied. There are some races this year on the plan.

Running with diabetes

Splashed: once entertaining again with a pen Whatever was there this Thursday going on, but somehow did not want the insulin pump as I wanted to.. Perhaps what was even with the insulin. I dont know. At least shuttled my BZ a dizzying height, and even with the pen it took forever until the correction worked. Well, these days there is just.

Horror movies, adrenaline and popcorn - or blood sugar increase after dental treatment

The day before yesterday I wrote about a positive experience last week with my CGM sensor. The announced stupid experience is now today. And was also last week. This experience, although I have to do even more, and it must do in the future probably more often, unfortunately, but I always find it corrosive if the blood sugar shoots without fault of their own (or clumsiness) through the ceiling. Teeth. It's time again to teeth.

It was time again. Dentist. Although time was had no bone grafting or screw-in-the-pine-Gebohre or other nasty jokes on the program, but 2 cervical fillings. The syringes selbermachen me absolutely nothing. As a diabetic you have already acquainted with one or the other needle made. I in my 25 years Diabetes way, about 83,000 times. For this makes the local anesthesia but always had problems with me. One or the other of you will probably know. The adrenaline in the local anesthetic has actually the task to constrict the blood vessels around the injection site and thus to create a local ischemia.

This has the effect that it bleeds less in treating and prolonging the effect of the local anesthetic. Well, adrenaline and insulin or blood sugar are not as best friends. Much I have not found on the Internet about the phenomenon of "blood sugar levels by local anesthetic", actually a epinephrine 1 except that: 200 000. No major impacts are expected. No major impact? Well, the exception proves the rule well. That my blood sugar on adrenalin is extremely sensitive, I know already. How, for example, during exercise, or at the sight of hairy spider in the corner. Zack goes missiles moderately upwards.

The CGM graph to observe how the blood sugar slowly dizzying heights climb is a little like watching a horror film in the cinema. In principle, you know what happens, yet you can do except cover his eyes, waiting for the happy ending nothing. Result: from 80mg / dl to 400mg / dl. Without Popcorn ...
