mosh-wow you(and your whole family) are an inspiration!!!
when i was first diagnosed 9 years ago i never fasted even yom kippur because i wasnt in such good control so everyone (doctor, parents, rabanim etc) felt it was best i wait till i was in better shape. over the years i gained perfect control so there was no longer that reason for me not to so i tried it and i was able to do it bh!!! it’s not easy but i think it’s worth it.. especially yom kippur! i start high too though i get SOOOO thirsty it’s really hard not to drink i put a temporary basal rate of 15% less to keep the numbers stable but by the end it gets low so i sometimes suspend delivery for a while so it will drift back up. im always happy when its over…
but just bringing up a point that i sometimes have troublewith… when i break my fast my body takes time to get back to normal so i sometimes have to bolus a little more for the “breaking meal” because my system is shocked by the carbs but then go too low later at night.. my system gets whacked for a bit.. any suggestions for the AFTER?? we discuss the DURING so much….
