hello!I never write in the forum, but I follow you, maybe I should have passed through the presentation forum, but I wanted to write on this topic, which interests me.
First congratulations on that hem!I hope to improve mine.
I love the mountain, climbing and all kinds of sport that has to do with the natural environment: D
I climb the same as the rest, I get tired just like the rest, and yes ... I have my descents from time to time ... In those cases it is time to stop, take sugar, rest for a while and sure, of course it is best to avoid them.
For me, the fundamental thing is to measure each one hours, depending on what you are doing, the previous measurement, and if you have fast insulin acting or not.Measure a lot allows you to know if you have to eat, or how long you can still rest, and avoid descent.
I have had drops, the result of not measuring enough, and on two occasions, they have been a bit strong.I was a little delayed from the group, and although I had been thinking for a while, "I should stop and eat something, but I'm still a little more and see if I reach the rest ..." In the end I warned the friend who had closer and told her that I hadTo stop, but I had waited too much, and I almost didn't get my voice.He gave me an anguish attack, it was the shape of my body to tell me to stop, that I could not continue.Suddenly I could not breathe, I lacked the air, hyperventila, and I started crying.The good thing is that I am quite calm, and I knew that what happened to me was lack of glucose, so I stopped, I took sugar, a juice, I waited for a while, I measured, ate something ... I still spent a very bad time.Since then I measure me much more, I have continued to make a mountain and it has not happened to me again.
On insulin, I usually get something Lantus, but only a couple of units, the rapid breakfast is left the same, but because I usually have breakfast more than usual, it would be as if the rapid went down in half.
I usually carry fruit (bananas, are very fast to eat, when you don't want to delay the group) gels and glucose pills and bones (because I don't like the bars very much).Ah, and a juice or two, which is great.
I have ever frozen the glucometer in my backpack in winter exits, there it is time to heat it until it works again.Now what I usually do is carry a fannyry, forward and below the jacket with the glucometer and everything that I want to carry by hand, sugar envelopes, etc.
Recently I have climbed the Peñón de Ifach, in Calpe, a 250 m route!My first route of several lengths.There the experience was rather the opposite, because of adrenaline (I suppose) I had glucose all the time through the clouds.In the meetings (when you stopped in the wall) I measured me and put one or two insulin units, I did not dare to put on more for fear of a downturn, but still in the next one I was still high.I started having it more controlled from half.Well, I take note of the experience for the next occasion.But as an experience it was a pass, really.
I have also been going around Menorca in Kayak and Raba an island of Croatia, and last summer, doing cycloatrism by the Po Valley, from Milan to Venice, almost 700km of bike in 9 days.
With this, I want to encourage you to do everything you like, that diabetes is not a limitation, it only causes us to wear a larger bag (loaded with insulin, needles, strips and food!) Well, and that chip we carry in theHead that we cannot disconnect.
Courage with Aneto.I uploaded it from the reinclusa refuge.Very cool
