Cycled 26.6 Km to Try Out Rims



I cycled a Distance of 26.6 Km to try out a Pair of Zefiro Rims which I bought from a Friend recently. I started at 1715 hrs with a Blood Sugar of 7.1 mmol/L, I took a Banana and Drank a Quarter cup of orange juice before starting my ride.

After cycling for 37 minutes 40 Seconds, covering 13.6 Km, I reached my friend’s place at Buangkok Crescent. Rested for a while, and then went for Dinner at a Resturant at Jalan Kayu. I gave myself 14 Units of Novorapid as my Blood Sugar was 11.9 mmol/L. I had a Banana Yogurt Drink, ate 2 Chicken Wings, a Share of Pork Ribs with Fries and a pieces of Fried Mushrooms. An hour later, I had a cup of Chinese Tea.

I left my Friend’s place at 2145 hrs, tested my Blood Sugar, it was 3.7 mmol/L, I immediately ate 5 Slices of Ginger Cookies, drank some water and rode home from Buangkok. I reached home at 2220 hrs, covering a total distance of 26.6 km.

Rested for 10 mins, took my blood test and it read 7.4mmol/L. Learnt a valuable lesson, should have given 10 units of Novorapid instead of 14 units, will beware of the amount of Insulin to be given during exercise.
