I had good intentions, but probably wasn't a very smart thing to do hitting the gym last night.

At 5:45 when I checked my blood sugars, I was at 410 I'm pretty sure I took my shot at lunch, and only had the same homemade bean soup with rice that I had the previous 2 meals. OK, lots of sugar available to fuel the muscles, as long as I take 20 units of insulin with dinner (normally 14)

I get to the gym about 7, so 15 minutes on elliptical to warm up, then it's back/tri time. At about 9 reps I really start to feel the burn in my grip, probably as much from the high sugar as anything else.

Finished off with tri presses on the cable. Set to 75 for 12, then immediately up a plate each time to 100, then back down thru the stack to 75. Only getting 9,10 at teh end, just BURNING.

This morning, my arms were like lead in the shower, I just wanted to stand there in the hot water. . .
