The spinning classes has given me lately, but I'm about to leave because I don't understand anything about my sugar ...
I carry insulin pump and continuous glucose meter.At first, as the doctor told me, I removed it 10 minutes before and during the time the class was without a bomb.He ate something before entering so as not to go fair, so I entered 140 and went out to 90. I shower and could the bomb.At the hour and a half I put me at 300 or more.The last weeks I have tried to carry the pump and put the basal at 30-20% and what I got was that in the middle of class, hypoglycemia and then the dected glucose.The last thing I have tried is to enter with the pump disconnected and in the middle class connect it and again 300 so I don't know what else to try

Hi Tica: I do not know what to tell you, this has never happened to me, or when I went to the gym or now that I go to run, in my case I have to be careful because I downloaded my glucose and for many hours. Is class very intense?The climb lasts many hours?You have a continuous meter so I imagine that you have seen the trend, I imagine that your liver produces glycogen because of the effort and that is why you have hyperglycemia but it should lower you very quickly .....
It is not that it is a great athlete, and surely here there are people who have better tips for you, but well I have incidented this sometimes and it has not gone very badly. Maybe you can start down the basal before what you do now even if you get a little higher to the class. I also left the bomb at 20% and measured me before starting and if I was 140 I took some glyco-sports (dextrose).Other times, I took it off and then when the base was placed again to 120%.
Cracias for the answers, yesterday I remove the pump during the session, and end at 70, I took 10g of sugar and put half an insulin unit ... and it seems that it worked ... but I do not know if it was for hypoglycemia orFor insulin.I will try again to put on a little more insulin when I have just played sports, they said it to get the basal to 120% ...
