Road the HiFi after work tonight. I was feeling very fatigued, but much better once I headed out.
Set my pump to a temp basal rate at 16:30. Used the usual 55% reduction, and headed over to the UNC Wellness Center. When I was leaving to ride at 17:39 I tested at a 56. I didn't want to delay the ride any, so I took in 45g of carbs via a bar and then disconnected the pump (set it to deliver no insulin) for 60 minutes.
Kept the pace low, and rolled out on my planned route. I stayed on the normal 20g of carbs per 1/2 hour intake schedule.
The pump alerted me when the hour was up, and I reset insulin delivery. I set my temp basal rate to a 80% reduction to finish out the ride.
Since I was taking in close to no insulin, I wasn't feeling 100% during the ride. It was good to stick it out and work through it.
I arrived back at the Wellness Center at 20:00, and tested at an 87. Basal rate back to normal.
When I went to bed, I didn't set a post ride temp basal. Figured the time "off the pump" would balance with the need to lower the basal rate.
