I know that title is a little ridiculous, considering that diabetes is a BIG part of my routine, of my life... but I hate it when it tries to interfere. I set my alarm for 5.30 this morning so that I could get in a good 45 min workout before work. Like every good diabetic (ahuh) I test before I work out. The last thing I want is to be going for a nice brisk ride or walk (or occasionally, jog) and fall flat on my face because of a low. Anyway, this morning I WAS low. Now, thats frustrating. I don't like eating or drinking pre workout, it makes me feel sluggish and heavy, and like I'm burning off whatever I just ate or drank, rather than whats in storage. But anyway, I'll live. Looks like its time to drop the levermir a little bit again, which is a good sign that the excercise is working and my insulin requirements are dropping.
So, after my bg came up (it only took a few minutes), I jumped on the bike. This morning was 25km on the bike, and just a very short 5 minute, 700m walk on the treadmill to cool down. I'm stoked with 25km, and am aiming to do a total of 150km on the bike this week - 25km, 6 days, with one day rest where I'll do a shorter session on the cardio twister.
Now its off to breakfast (slimright shake), shower and work!
