[QUOTE="Emck, post: 2300765, member: 498565"] Hi all, I follow the dafne rules for carb counting and exercise, but I find that sometimes my pre/post exercise reductions can be hit and miss. I’d love to get an idea of what everyone counts as low/medium/high impact exercise as I’m not sure that I’m classifying it correctly (often ending up in hypos). E.g. I would have thought that walking would count as low impact, but often the low impact reduction is too much for me. I feel like weights are medium effort, so long as it’s high weights/low reps (sometimes I even need to take a unit of insulin before working out to avoid spikes) I think that HIIT and running count as high impact for me so need a larger reduction. Additionally, how do you handle exercise that lasts for more than one hour. I often go on long walks (2-3hours) and find that I need to top up sugar regularly during this. [/QUOTE]
