Howdy From Santa Barbara,
This place really, really rocks!!! Sunny, warm, and great riding. I have a great place here, staying with Gina, and her family. They have been very gracious to put me up. Gina is part of the team, as is her son Sean!! http://www.apidra.com/real_people/stories/Gina.aspx
Big thanks for the warm Welcome to Santa Barbara:)
Thanks to everyone for the solid advice and comments. It has been a fun game to play, and have been learning a bit. Believe it or not I actually enjoy the confusion. Why? I imagine that if I had to do the same thing each and every day, I might get a bit bored, and then what fun would it be? But with all these changes, it constantly allows me to learn more, and sharpen this little brain I am stuck with...
What are some of the new theories? Well, kind of like Kerry said, as well as my buddy Tim Johnson- the body changes. it becomes more efficient at using fuel, so may need additional help (insulin) to get the fuel to where it needs. After having dropped my basal from 15 down to 12 last week, I have now raised it back up to 14, and will do 15 units of Lantus tonight. Instead of 3 units of Apidra for my 150gms of post ride Pasta, I am now doing 7 units. Where as last Saturday, I could eat 200gms of carbs on .5 unit of Insulin, today, I am going to inject 4 units of Apidra for 60gms of carbs.
I have another theory too... I had been sleeping in an Altitude tent each and every night. When I first got in, I slowly started reducing total daily insulin requirements, as the body burns more at night while in the tent. For the past 2 weeks, over the holidays, I have been in and out, and mostly out. Could this have lead to the higher insulin needs? Maybe? I just ordered a new tent from Altitudetech Inc. le and should have by early next week. I will make sure to let you know how that effects my insulin requirements.
Training camp is getting closer, and it is somewhat the talk of the town out here. We are going to have some of the top endos in the country at camp, as well as the top 27 athletes (who ride a bike) with type 1 in the world (that we know of.) This is a very exciting culmination of 4 years of work to get to this point, and just the beginning for Team Type 1, and the super beginning for Team Type 2.
Also, I am starting to get learn more about Twitter. So as I begin to travel the world more, and spend less time from the computer, I will try to do updates. If you would like to follow that way, please check: http://twitter.com/PhilSoutherland
More news to come, as I figure this part of the game out.
Thanks for reading, and Have a GREAT day!
