Hi all, I need advice/guidance desperately!
I have noticed my hypos are always when I do strenuous exercise eg hiit. They are happening at 1.30am each night that I've done a 30 min hiit class. I feel like I do everything right but obviously not! I eat after my class, with carbs, protein and veg. And do not take any quick acting insulin with this? Sometimes this works and sometimes I'm higher low. From reading forums I realise I should decrease my BI by half as a first experiment but I still dont understand what carbs or how much carbs I should have to stop a hypo happening!? I'd love to not have to eat carbs after a workout if I choose not to. What do you guys do? I want to loose weight and I'm always eating to replenish a hypo so it's becomin pointless exercise but I love to exercise! I dont eat through exercise and I generally am around 10-14 for exercise. Is this an harmful level also? Thank youuuuu
