[QUOTE="nicki92, post: 2465550, member: 550186"] Thank you Trevor that's really useful! I had another experience today: before eating my BG was quite low, so for 30g carbs I'd normally take 1.5IE, but didn't take any (I also ate a fair amount of fat). An hour later my BG was rising rapidly so I had 0.5 insulin units. Two hours later I went for my run, heading out with BG of around 9mmol/l, and it stayed between 8 and 9 for the whole run! I had sweets and a gel and didn't need anything! (I assume my body should be done with such a small amount of insulin after 2 hours and I was happy to be under 10 but still high enough to feel safe heading out to exercise.) I guess maybe there's something in the difference between the two runs or what I ate but it's so strange to me how my body can react so differently to very similar exercise. I suppose I'll learn it all in time, but for now I reeeally appreciate the tips. For now I will definitely remember lower carbs/low insulin amounts before exercise -- thank you for your wisdom!
