[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 935384, member: 53162"] As quoted above, test beforehand and afterwards and also take glucose with you on your run. I run and cycle but depending on the length of exercise this should determine what action needs to be taken and based on the intensity of the exercise too. If I run for 20 minutes which is generally what I am capable of doing then I take basal as normal and if over say 6 mmol/l then don't do anything else and just test when I get back, if I am below 6 then will probably just have a jelly baby and run. Once you start you will then be able to record patterns with your exercise which will both increase your confidence but also tell you how to manage your diabetes for your next run, assuming you do this regularly it will help reduce your BG, exercise is so good for everyone but particularly insulin dependent diabetics as helps stabilise BG, please also remember to test regularly after exercise also as your body will drain the glucose in your blood to repair and build muscles for up to 12 hours possibly longer. Have fun on your run ;) [/QUOTE]
