Yes, I deal with all that besides Scuba diving (interesting!) These routines around everyday exercise are not constant worries as represented in the earlier post. After exercising a few dozen/hundred times you know what to expect and don’t need to think about what to do. I will say that inconsistently performed intense exercise can be challenging; a regular exercise schedule is less effort to manage for diabetics.

I rotate injection spots but have favorites based on convenience, sensation, etc. like anyone else. The variation in effectiveness I’m seeing is small enough that I’m not sure what’s happening yet. It’s not really a big deal because my numbers are fine.

It’s not a disease that varies so much from individual to individual that lessons can’t be learned and shared, and it’s a disservice to misrepresent the mental effort to new diabetics and people potentially lapsing into poor control.
