Today went down to SGH to see Dr Soh. He will be explaining to me the readings on the CGMS meter.....great! I will know how well I have fared and what I need to do in the future.....
Somehow, Day 1 of the test is a little bit unstable but rest of the days seems to be fine. However, there are some days which the readings on the meter is different from the finger pricking readings.....need to guess what happened that day....
Takeaway from this session:
1) Testing is important before and after exercise because there will be changes to the sugar level
2) When I know that my sugar level will be low a few hours after excercise, then I should lower my Glargine for the day so that I will not run into Hypo. Most prob my Dr did mention abt it but I probably forgotten about it....
3) Pre-exercise snack is important so that I will not run into Hypo while running.
My next extreme sports will be the OCBC 40km Cycle event next year.......Not sure how I can take it but guess I need to train and monitor my results at the same time.

After My 5km run
Before my 5km run yesterday, I got the CGMS device removed. Gosh! So much relieved that this is removed. Else, I will be uncomfortable with my run.
Below will be my testing results before and after the run.
Pre-breakfast@ 5.58am 6.8 mmol. Gave myself 18 units of Glargine and 6 units of Humalog. Took 3 cream cracker biscuits and a bowl of Quaker oats.
After the run @ 9.45am 5.9 mmol. Went for snack with friends. Took 2 pieces of steamed yam cake and coffee "neat" (meaning, no milk and no sugar)
Pre-lunch @ 12.59 pm 7.4 mmol. Since I know that the run will make my sugar go low, I gave myself 8 units of Humalog eventhough the plate of fishball noodles looks like 3 CHO portions.
Pre-dinner @ 7.03 pm 4.2 mmol. Before this, I actually felt hypo @ around 5.45pm and took canned apple juice from vending machine. Gave myself 10 units of Humalog before dinner.
2.5 hrs later @ 9.32pm 3.3 mmol. Hypo again! Did not take sweet drinks this time round but I took around 4 pieces of raisin biscuits and a glass of milk.
After the run, I experienced hypo twice. If I run in the morning, the hypos will come late in the afternoon or evening. Since most the time I run in the evenings, then my hypo will come around 3-5 am in the morning. Maybe next time what I will need to do is to inject less Humalog for my dinner.
