"DON'T YOU QUIT"


This blog is a first for me, it describes part of my life before, sometimes during and after tranplant. working towards recovery, charity kayak (uk circumnavigation & Ireland) if humanly possible, and leg, and how I deal with my diabetes during training and expedition, maybe some inspiration along the way.

Spent a week away from the gym, and as always although it was a few days my blood sugars went silly and suffered nutrition wise just missed meals and had to use more insulin. I know it sounds obvious but it's a routine that seems to go out the window to.

I learnt allot from the kayakathon and roughly have an idea what my insulin dose should be.
The first half of the kayak my BS was 16 way to high and I suffered, before setting back I gave 2 units of Humalog and when I finished it had dropped to 8, so it dropped by 4 an hour.
I did drink water and sipped some lucozade sport through a camel pac but not much.

I intend to get out on the water and do some training similar to that of endurance paddlers....

It was my own fault that my blood sugar had risen that much, I did have an idea what my lantus dose should  be, I knew it wouldn't be far from what it is now because of the training I was doing already, but this is endurance, well to me it was; so i did over compensate with food at breakfast.
As this had never been done before on the Thames, Simon was concerned about it running smoothly and I didn't want me putting a spanner in the works. I think he was already concerned with the fact I had my leg in plaster below the knee and the fact I was a Diabetic. He did know about the transplants I had though.
