the Arctic. "My number one tip is to keep
a diary of how each exercise affects your
glucose levels. I call this a 'Haynes Manual
for Type 1 and exercise'. I keep records
so that the next time I do a three-hour run
in hilly landscape, I can check my diary
and see what worked - or what didn't,
the last time I did a similar run. I swear by
my CGM sensor. I I couldn't do a lot of
things I do without it - no question. When
I ran the 6633 Ultra in the Arctic, I couldn't
exactly remove three pairs of gloves to
prick my finger to see what my glucose
level was! The trend arrows, up or down,
mean I can anticipate a hypo or hyper
and treat accordingly. And if you're on a
pump, then another top tip is to attach a
second pump cannula just in case the first
one gets ripped off, then you only have to
reconnect to the spare one rather than do
a whole new set change on the run."
