I&#8217;m curious if there are any insulin injectors here that also participate in high intensity sports?  Prior to my diagnosis, I did a lot of marathons and triathalons.  I have cut back on that recently, but defintely want to get back into it this spring.  I am also now very into MMA and jujitsu, which generally consists on 30 minutes of practicing techniques, and 45 minutes of rolling (fighting with a partner without punching).<\/p>\n<p>I was dx 6 months ago, but started with my insulin only 3 weeks ago.  I am generally paranoid about going low, but extremely so during practice.  My strategy for dealing with that so far has been to carbo-load prior and during practice with gatorade and sports drinks.  I know that this is less than ideal, but I have no idea how much I should reduce my insulin, how much I should drink sports drink, how much my liver can naturally keep my BG high, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like it doesn&#8217;t help being that MMA is a tough guy sport.  They don&#8217;t really give me time to sit there and test myself mid-practice.  Not that I&#8217;ve even told them what my diabetes issues are.  It just doesn&#8217;t seem like the right forum to even bring it up.  Has anyone here had a sit down with their coach about practice and game strategies for dealing with their D?<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey eveyone!
