One day later, AAPS needs a higher target and weaker ISF to try keep my glucose levels up!

And today AAPS is struggling to keep my glucose levels up! I been trembling all day and feeling low. Same pod, same sensor that doesn't need calibrating either. So grateful to be back on my loop. #PeriMeno #T1D

Hooked up to either Alpha-MSH or a placebo (visibly identical dummy liquid)

Glucose trend on AAPS showing went out of range after changing to low glucose suspend overnight.

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test at 11 and peaked to 27.4 at 12.55.

Yesterday was Day 2 taking part in a trial to find out how α-MSH works in muscle to reduce blood sugar. Raging how my trend on Thurs night went crazy on me despite eating early & with previous hypos during the night when basal testing the other week! #T1DResearch #T1D #PeriMeno #ThighBiopsy 🤓

I find it so difficult but the feeling afterwards is fantastic. Perhaps that's just because I've stopped running. 🤔😴😂
Regular & consistent exercise for mental & physical health, not to shrink myself or just for short-term goals, has been a revelation. Feeling good, finally! 👍 #perimeno
