Now we are not talking about your average holiday diver jumping into a 30 foot deep reef in nice balmy 80 degree waters for 20 mins. <\/p>\n<p>I tend to dive upwards to 2 hours at a time in 34 degree water at great depths.  Much of the diving i do is called &quot;Overhead&quot; meaning i physically can not just surface because i am done, tired or ill.   I have a series of decompression stops to make or i am physically in or under something and would have to make my way out.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the diving we do and the gear we dive with at times we can do very aggressive swimming against some serious resistance ( Current in the water, Gear on our backs and my physical size ).  Often when i dive i will skip my morning meds ( not that i was taking them all that often then )  and eat a hardy breakfast..  <\/p>\n<p>I would go into the water around 14-18 and come out of the water and do lunch with the  guys and read around 5.   <\/p>\n<p>My concern now is Insulin, I am not going to be able to just not take the meds however the physical activity which we do every saturday and Sunday morning could turn costly for me now \ud83d\ude41 <\/p>\n<p>What i am looking to find out i guess is, Does it hurt to take the insulin dosage after the fact?  My concern would be to Carb load at breakfast to be in the water with in the hour but have something happen ( Gear failure, bad weather, ill buddy) that would prevent us from completing the dive and now being an hour or so after eating with a BG level way to high to deal with the rest of the day? <\/p>\n<p>My during dive is not soo much an issue, My buddy and i carry these <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powerbar.com\/products\/199\/POWERBARsup\/sup_GEL_CARBOHYDRATE_ELECTROLYTE_BLEND_Strawberry_Banana.aspx\" >Powerbar Gels<\/a> which yes we are able to consume while underwater.   I find that if i tend to go low or feel a little off i will pull one of these out and with in a couple of mins I am good to go.  We also carry lots of water for consumption. <\/p>\n<p>A buddy of mine who i have yet to get to sit down with is also a diabetic which i just found out, however he is on a pump system and i was not sure if thats the same thing or not.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey guys, So just wondering what peoples thoughts are on this.
