Diabetes and exercise is something incredibly hard to manage. It is difficult to get my blood sugar where I want it for exercise, and even harder to get it to stay there. For many people, managing blood sugars before, during, and after, is so hard that they just don’t exercise. I don’t blame them. It introduces a million new variables.
I still ended the day at 277 mg/dl. Do I blame it on a few too many gulps of Gatorade? Maybe a temporary basal rate reduction that was too aggressive? Who knows. I’m extremely lucky that I enjoy basketball enough to keep working through the hard blood sugars to find a way to play.
