Nicky - 25 Aug 2007 21:52 GMT Today, the kids and I have been at a karate festival. 6 hours' training - and we get to do it again tomorrow <whimper>...
I have been liver dumping all over the place, and I'd appreciate some advice on how to handle tomorrow, or Monday's morning session. This is what I ate, and readings:
Breakfast, my summer cereal with full cream milk, about 6g carbs; lots of protein. Pre karate 5.1 1 1/2 hours in - 8.3. Merde! Ate an apple to try and turn it off. 1 hours later - 9.6. Eeek! Decided to train some more but not eat, and try and wear it off! 1 hour later - 10.3. Highest reading for a long, long time! Lunchtime now. Lunch - 4 small slices home-made bread, tot 12 carbs, Brie, medium tomato. Lots and lots of water and a can of diet Coke - I should say that summer turned on today, it was very, very hot, we trained outside, and I am sunburned despite several applications of factor 40! End of lunch - 6.3. End of first session, 5.1; ate half a Kit-kat, I think the whole is 17g End of second session, 5.6 Supper, chili con carne with black soy beans, 1/2 slice plastic bread - 1 hour, 6.1
So, I'm back to morning exercise causing dumps - extreme morning exercise, anyway. At least I never hit a low, which I used to rebound to do. Tomorrow I'm going to train wearing a hat, and I have bottles and bottles of water cooling in the fridge. I have also asked Elder Daughter to make sure I eat a little nut/raisin mixture at every opportunity, because I'd once again lost the ability to make sensible decisions about this. What else can I do?
TIA,
Nicky.

Nicky - 25 Aug 2007 22:44 GMT >Have you considered bumping brekky up over 6g on days when >you know your about to do karate? Yeah, I hear what you're saying - I'm a little scared to because I KNOW that much over 6g will send me high - but I think I'd rather be food-high and use it up, than liver high, which just keeps coming... tomorrow I'll have the usual breakfast, then try a handful of nuts / raisins just beforehand.
>And having a snack - fruit, bar, similar - about an hour >into it? Unfortunately, the way the thing is structured, I'd look like a green monkey - breaks are at 1 1/2 hours, leaving the training early is of course possible but highly embarrassing. I guess I'll just try and eat when I can - a very strange thing to have to say : )

And then a little carby snack right before the activity?

Ozgirl - 26 Aug 2007 01:06 GMT Sipping orange juice works for me. A few sips every 15 minutes or however your breaks between training occur.
I watched a little girl at a water park once. She was a type 1 and she would do maybe 3 climbs up the steps and 3 slides down and come and get a few crackers then repeat it, before coming and testing, shooting and eating a sandwich and apple.

Lose all your VAT by eating less, down to the optimal amount (32 ounces) to become healthier (hungrier) so that you will cure the insulin resistance (IR/MetS) that is behind your glycemic dysregulation.
With a BMI of 25, it is very likely that your WHR (Waist to Hip Ratio) is greater than 0.75, which would indicate that you indeed have VAT causing your IR/MetS.
It is only when we are hungry (stomachs laughing and singing) that our bodies get rid of the VAT.

Frank t2 - 27 Aug 2007 03:40 GMT Over here, the banks made a deal with the supermarkets; banks would not sell food and supermarkets would not peddle house loans. (I know it's not the case everywhere).
So, the pickled herring would be found in France in supermarkets, fish shops and "delicatessen".
Give it a go, mate !

I wish I knew the mechanism of vinegar... it seems to be a gut reaction, rather than a liver one, so might not work here. Thanks for the thought, though, Frank! I'll bear it in mind for Tuesday, when I've stopped kicking people but still might be eating too much!

Taken from another forum.
Vinegar is high in acetic acid Acetic acid, can increase the body's absorption of important minerals from the foods we eat. It can increase calcium absorption. It slows the absorption of sugar. It increases insulin sensitivity. It increases the feeling of satiety.
It can be used as a flavoring agent in place of unhealthy fats and salt. When making a dish that contains beans, add a little vinegar near the end of cooking--it will dramatically decrease the amount of salt you'll need. Vinegar can turn ordinary vegetables into a marinated-vegetable salad that's ready to grab out of the refrigerator whenever hunger strikes. A splash of balsamic vinegar can bring out the sweetness and flavor of strawberries without any added sugar. I know it sounds gross but some people like balsamic vinegar on vanilla ice cream.
It has a long history of helping with all kinds of health problems. Some of the uses may be wishful thinking but it does appear to help with a large number of things.
I have not verified any of the claims contained in here. It does, IME, help to clean windows without leaving streaks on the panes though.

We are having a ball, and learning tons - not least of which is how to manage my bg. Thanks for everyone's suggestions; the highest I got today was 7.1. Eating dried banana slices at 9:30 in the morning felt distinctly weird, but worked fine. I also munched trail mix and apricots at every opportunity.
To my great delight, I am doing at least as well as my grade group. This morning, I out-ran both my teenagers :D during some sadist's idea of a short warm up - running round 3 soccer pitches - and I managed my only perfect kata of the day when the senior instructor was watching. I'm one of the oldest and fattest people there - and it's amusing me that this feels strange, my body image has obviously shifted quite a long way. Karate is doing me a lot of good... <ow...>

Have my breakfast of a single solitary piece of low carb multigrain toast with a bit of cheese, then, immediately after, go on my 12 kilometre bike ride to work. Now, if I didn't go on the ride at all, after about 50 minutes my bg would be around 8 or below. But if I ride immediately after the breakfast - bang! At the end of the ride, my bg has gone up to over 9! An hour after that, it's gone to more than 10! Something in my body sends a message to my liver that my bg needs boosting, and my bg gets very boosted!
I get around the major dump by waiting 50 minutes after eating before going on my bike ride. Even so, at the end of the ride my bg is only marginally lower than it would be if I had not exercised at all. Despite the liver dumps, it is thanks to the exercise my bg is lower generally, so I persevere with it. Interestingly enough, I can decrease my use of insulin such as Lantus when exercising, and when not exercising, the Lantus has a reduced effect on my bgs. (Naturally I never take insulin before exercising).

(Naturally I never take insulin before exercising). Is it possible to zap the high bg with a bolus, Henry, or is that too risky? I guess your decreased need is insulin resistance. Damned powerful thing, when it's still a factor after all the cycling you put in!

I like to use the bolus only before my main meal, when all of the bike riding is over and done with, and when I know exactly when and what I'm going to eat.
I've always had high fbg, in the vicinity of 7.5 to as high as 9 - often more, and the Lantus basal killed that. Now I'm getting a respectable 4 - 5. Even so, I can guarrantee a dump if I start riding straight after eating, no matter what I eat. Here's a puzzler, though - if I have a breakfast at the weekend, then I can ride even half an hour after eating, and my bg will go down, as it should. This means that there is or are other triggers for a liver dump than purely exercising with a low bg. I figure it's also the adrenalin rush, which is certainly present every time I hop on my bike and risk killing myself on the highway.

What I was doing was going to the gym and doing 45 min to an hour on the treadmill, some weight training and then go home and flop on the couch. Bg would go up to about 150 sometimes. I found I had to stay moderatly active after my workout to prevent this, It didnt take much, just anything beside vegging out infront of the TV. as ususual YMMV

On day 1, I under-carbed it, and bg just kept going up - and up - no matter what I did. Control was better on the second day, but I still had to drop out of a fighting session because I didn't think I would be safe - I LOVE sparring, but I get an adrenalin surge from it anyway; I didn't want to start one from 150!
I'm now going back to my normal routine of only exercising after lunch - but next time I do something in the morning, I'm going to carb up a bit first. A handful of dried banana chips worked reasonably this time.
