"Thanks for the help! I will look for the Optiflex and give that a try"
FHS replied to jdoc70's discussion 'Brazilian Jiu Jitsu' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I just got back into BJJ a few months ago after taking many many years off. Since then, I've tried a ton of different wraps, covers, and tapes to try to keep the pod from coming off during training.
For me, sweating is actually a bigger problem…"
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
I wear an omnipod and have done martial arts for years, with very few issues. Stand up fighting is no problem, but I really want to start grappling and figure out where I could put the pod where it won't get ripped off, or what kind of covering to put over it. Any ideas?See More
"I experience the same thing depending on exercise type. When I do aerobic type activity like running or sparring, I know my bg is going to drop like a rock. When doing more anaerobic activity like heavy weight lifting I get high, so I usually take a…"
"I get them probably once every couple of months, I just always have a paper towel handy when I take the pod off. For me it seems that when I have a painful insertion site, feeling like the cannula is stuck directly into a muscle, thats when I'm…"
"Thanks for the advice, I'm still tweaking my training all the time. Had a nasty tib/fib break in a race last year requiring lots of screws and a plate, so working around that and figuring out when to schedule the next surgery without…"

"Doable - I know several of us have done Ironman events where we're off the pump during the swim (1 - 2 hrs) - still here to write about it. Others do Lantus/Levemir for basal and then use pump/pod/pen for bolus. How are you training currently…"
"Thanks for the response! The problem is that in these sort of races, there are 15-20 obstacles, some involving crawling under barbed wire through mud/ water, wading through swamps and being blasted with water cannons, so the dexcom isn't an…"

Adventure races
Has anybody run a Tough Mudder or Super Spartan? I've done a couple of Spartan Sprints and other 5k obstacle races, but a little apprehensive about the 10+ mile races and trying to keep my bg in check. My wife is convinced I will die, but I know there must be a way. Any suggestions?See More
