This my blood glucose graph from the day of my Rim to Rim hike in the Grand Canyon, 9/25/24. I worked really hard, hiking for over 16 hours. I followed my fueling and hydration plans very closely until the final push climbing up the North Kaibab Trail (6 pm to 9:45 pm). This was the point where my blood glucose dropped to ~ 60 mg/dl and where my pace dropped off enough that I needed my husband to pause and wait for me to catch up, several times. Why did I wear a continuous glucose biosensor ()? Because:
1) I am a curious dietitian nutritionist,
2) I am an athlete that loves eating carbs, 3) I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes earlier this year for first time, and 4) I have so many friends and clients dealing with blood sugar that is creeping higher with age! 😕 If you are in the pre-diabetes/abnormal blood sugar club, I can help. Comment the word Help or send me a DM and we can chat more.
