The pos\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties in dia\u00adbe\u00adtes manage\u00adment have impro\u00adved dra\u00adma\u00adti\u00adcal\u00adly in the last 20 years. One exam\u00adp\u00adle is weara\u00adble tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy: a sen\u00adsor the size of a coin mea\u00adsu\u00adres tis\u00adsue glu\u00adco\u00adse in real time (as a pro\u00adxy for blood glu\u00adco\u00adse) and its coun\u00adter\u00adpart, a weara\u00adble insu\u00adlin pump, com\u00adple\u00adtes the miss\u00ading con\u00adtrol sys\u00adtem, enab\u00adling a much bet\u00adter qua\u00adli\u00adty of life through nutri\u00adtion, blood glu\u00adco\u00adse ana\u00adly\u00adsis and control.<\/p>\n
My ath\u00adle\u00adte pur\u00adsues a deman\u00adding pro\u00adfes\u00adsi\u00adon with manage\u00adment respon\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty in ever\u00ady\u00adday life. In addi\u00adti\u00adon, pre\u00adpa\u00adring ade\u00adqua\u00adte\u00adly for a mul\u00adti-day com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adti\u00adon was dif\u00adfi\u00adcult and requi\u00adred good time manage\u00adment. What sounds like a ques\u00adti\u00adon of disci\u00adpli\u00adne has a com\u00adple\u00adte\u00adly dif\u00adfe\u00adrent dimen\u00adsi\u00adon for dia\u00adbe\u00adtics. Stress in the form of litt\u00adle sleep, psy\u00adcho\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal ten\u00adsi\u00adon at work, long days and, at the end, cycling trai\u00adning places high demands on ener\u00adgy sup\u00adp\u00adly and, abo\u00adve all, on ade\u00adqua\u00adte ener\u00adgy sup\u00adp\u00adly throug\u00adhout the day.<\/p>\n
This was the top prio\u00adri\u00adty for the pre\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon \u2013 smoot\u00adhing the blood sugar and ensu\u00adring con\u00adstant ener\u00adgy avai\u00adla\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty hel\u00adped to redu\u00adce \u00abmeta\u00adbo\u00adlic stress\u00bb and bring calm into the sys\u00adtem Tar\u00adge\u00adted nut\u00adri\u00adtio\u00adnal adjus\u00adt\u00adments (quan\u00adti\u00adta\u00adti\u00adve, qua\u00adli\u00adta\u00adti\u00adve and meal timing) were key here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What was\u00adn\u2019t clear to us lea\u00adding up to the race was the over\u00adall cir\u00adcum\u00ads\u00adtances of this com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adti\u00adon. While it was clear that cam\u00adping on the beach might not pro\u00advi\u00adde as much rest as a quiet hotel, the fact that the\u00adre was action from dawn to dusk and the ath\u00adle\u00adtes did\u00adn\u2019t have a momen\u00adt\u2019s peace was a sur\u00adpri\u00adse. Bike repairs, mate\u00adri\u00adal care, pre\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon and fol\u00adlow-up are an addi\u00adtio\u00adnal test in addi\u00adti\u00adon to the rare camp\u00adfi\u00adre moments with col\u00adle\u00adagues from the pelo\u00adton. The exact cour\u00adse of the race was not published in advan\u00adce. Thus, it was very dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to cal\u00adcu\u00adla\u00adte the exact ener\u00adgy requi\u00adre\u00adments in the race. Hour-long car\u00adry\u00ading pas\u00adsa\u00adges or rus\u00adhing downhills, tech\u00adni\u00adcal pas\u00adsa\u00adges or flowing trails \u2013 we had to have a solu\u00adti\u00adon for everything.<\/p>\n
In the end, the ath\u00adle\u00adte always car\u00adri\u00aded more than enough ener\u00adgy with him and could the\u00adr\u00ade\u00adfo\u00adre always be opti\u00admal\u00adly fed with regu\u00adlar blood sugar checks It was inva\u00adluable that the ath\u00adle\u00adte was a very cool and con\u00adtrol\u00adled cha\u00adrac\u00adter on the one hand, but also appro\u00adpria\u00adte\u00adly adept at dosing car\u00adbo\u00adhy\u00addra\u00adtes and insulin.<\/p>\n
So the stra\u00adtegy of run\u00adning a rela\u00adtively high initi\u00adal blood sugar levels and kee\u00adping it con\u00adstant throug\u00adhout the day work\u00aded out very well. Over the enti\u00adre week, the\u00adre was only one diver who could be quick\u00adly cor\u00adrec\u00adted. It was ama\u00adzing how, in the cour\u00adse of the week, fewer and fewer insu\u00adlin doses beca\u00adme neces\u00adsa\u00adry and the ener\u00adgy sup\u00adp\u00adly could be matched to the needs. Ano\u00adther important step was to rai\u00adse the blood sugar again befo\u00adre bedti\u00adme in order to be able to sleep well and in a con\u00adtrol\u00adled manner.<\/p>\n
The ath\u00adle\u00adte achie\u00adved his goal of finis\u00adhing strong per\u00adfect\u00adly. Nutri\u00adtion in the\u00adse dif\u00adfi\u00adcult con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons work\u00aded out per\u00adfect\u00adly. A bril\u00adli\u00adant side effect of the who\u00adle thing is that the ath\u00adle\u00adte got to know his body bet\u00adter under extre\u00adme con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons and took away a lot of con\u00adfi\u00addence and expe\u00adri\u00adence from it, which will also help him in ever\u00ady\u00adday life.<\/p>\n
This pro\u00adject was super exci\u00adting for me and nice to be able to sup\u00adport someone under the\u00adse con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons on the way to a gre\u00adat goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
