Swimming and glucose levels during training

Hello!

I'm going to swim 1 hour 2 times a week.I swim between 1200-1700 meters according to the day.The problem is that I fail to control the levels before, during and after training.I carry the freestyle sensor.There are days that I enter with 180, I like a banana and I finish in 100. Other days I have entered in 200 I have also eaten a banana and I have finished in 250. Another day between 250 and ended in 80. Today I have entered 130,I have eaten a banana and a mejdoul dates, at 20 min was at 115 with a tendency to go down, I ate another dates and 3 glucosport pills andAlmost at the time I was in 90 and going down, I ate another dates and 3 pills, but at the time of swimming I was in 200 ...

Can anyone give me councils to work for swimming and having stable levels?No declines?What do you eat before or during training?Thank you very much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I swim less of that distance and sometimes upload it.I think the liver creates more sugar in the face of effort

Good morning.

I do not swim, but I run that for effects is a sport with enough intensity.

It happens to me the same as you, but what I have realized is that at least I, I must also have the amount of hydrates I have taken in the food, and if you do not click every day the same, like me,Also the insulin that you have punctured in the food.

In order not to do this very long, I (depending on the level with which I arrive), I eat one or two María de las as always, about 15 minutes before sport, so they take effect while I am doing sports.

But all that will also depend on your level of effort in training.

Even so, each body is a world and mine does not have to be good for yours.

Thank you very much for the tips.I am going to try with the cookies Maria and also with a small snack with turkey and avocado, to see how.

I have also read that there are sports gels that slowly release hydrates, has anyone tried one of these?Do you know how they go and what do you use?

I understand you perfectly Cuevast.

I do not know what treatment you follow, but in my case I also have serious difficulties many times to maintain a stable blood glucose and that is not in low to start.I use bomb.

There are some gels that say they have low glycemic index, slow absorption ... The peaks are important to take them into account because after climbing very fast afterwards they go down very fast too.You have to try to take food whose digestion and metabolization take a long time, and because it takes them in advance, so that they act during the exercise, because if not, you finish the exercise and go up later, although the effect of the exercise continues to act also afterend.

It is a very difficult balance that we raise a lot of challenge, you will have to try and adjust until you find your key.I am now trying to take glucose pills when I start seeing downward trend, to cushion that descent, and start the exercise when I see the climbing trend, having taken the food that I tell you previously and having put less insulin than whichI would have corresponded to those foods.

Greetings.

The problem that diabetics always have, is that what is worth one, may not serve another.

For myI do it once a year at most.

You will have to try it, just like the gels.

By the way I use this: Link

Hello good morning,

I would try with a liquid dextrose of prolonged release like these containers:

For exercises of more than 90 ’they have several sugars than different assimilation.

There are also athletes who combine unblocking isotonic and add powdered dextrose in a volume of water between 500-1000ML and thus contribute carbohydrates and salts during training.

Examples:

You'll tell us, I hope it serves you.

Good morning,

Before nothing, to say that in my case I have little request for daily insulin, about 18-20 a total and that I carry the insulin bomb Aviva Aviva alone.

I swim 4-5 days per week, minimum an hour and I do 2000-2500 m.

Two days at 7 in the morning, two after eating and one before (this day depends on the work, it goes to weeks sometimes not).

The days that swim early, not as anything pre -training, only a green tea and a coffee with milk.Before entering the water I put 0.50 a and disconnect the pump.I go to 140-180 andI like a slice of protein bread with cheese and coffee with milk.During the morning it stabilizes.

The days I train at noon, about 12.30 because I swim at 2:00 p.m.Before entering the water I put 0.5 and leave like 140-180.

Not like bananas, but maybe it's a matter of having too much insulin in your body?I don't just see that even eating the banana, you get so high.

Intense training days, sometimes, my glycemia lowered me enough but after a few hours.

Thank you so much!

How much in advance to start swimming would you recommend taking them?

Hello@Cuevast, it depends a lot on previous food intake or the patterns you have in glycemia during exercise.The LongG product distances normally distributes its intake in 20/30 minutes sections in a duration of 90 minutes.

You have to buy glycemia in case it requires a punctual contribution with some glucose tablet or with liquid dextrose.

It is important to try in different situations to see which is the most appropriate moment of each 😊

All the best.

Hello!

Exercise can be difficult to manage.It works well, doing it without active insulin, that is to say far from meals and that the previous food is low in hydrates so as not to need much insulin.

Better reduce insulin than having to eat extra with hydrates.

In my case, I train on an empty stomach and my levels are usually stable

@Nataliacalvet Yes, I do that.I usually eat at 14, I put the insulin at that time and swim at 18-19
