[QUOTE="cugila, post: 171110, member: 15325"] It isn't on waking it is [b]before exercise[/b]......... If it is more than 13 mmol/l prior to exercise then test for ketones. If ketones positive, postpone exercise and consider extra quick-acting insulin. Here is a link to post I made earlier today about exercise........ [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=18805#p171027]viewtopic.php?f=15&t=18805#p171027[/url] What we are actually talking about is called DKA, Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Here is a link which explains it more fully: [url=http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/facts/diabeticacidosis.htm]http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/fac ... idosis.htm[/url] Because exercise can help diabetes, some people think it will help the symptoms of acidosis, DKA. In fact, exercise only makes things worse. Diabetic acidosis is caused by a low insulin level and must be treated with insulin. So, it's no wonder your Gym instructor was concerned........ Welcome to the Forum BTW....... :) Just a question for you....what sort of diet are you on with levels so high ? [/QUOTE]
