"The Boomerang Effect" Revisited

So I am trying to learn from my past. After Saturday's successful 12 -mile run, I decided to back off my basal rate yesterday (for 24 hours) and today (for another 24 hours) to 90% of normal. This is to hedge that I do not go low with my blood sugar levels 24-28 hours after an intensive and lengthy workout. Blood sugar levels yesterday were excellent (no lows!) and so far today they are running equally good as well. I am very excited about my road race in less than two weeks. I should be in the best physical condition for a very demanding 10-mile course. I have been training for the past 16 weeks, and last week I ran 28 miles total--my largest weekly mileage ever. Good luck with your own training and diabetes management.
