Hello,
I'm 27 and was diagnosed two weeks ago with Type 1. I usually go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week for cardio and weights (nothing too crazy, just to keep myself healthy). I'm looking to start back but a bit nervous about taking a hypo because my sugars seem to drop quite quickly when I walk. E.g. If my BG is 12 and I go for a 10 minute walk, it usually drops to around 5 or 6. Has anyone any advice about what they do pre and post workout to help control their levels?
Thanks,
Peter
