[QUOTE="ChrisMaleType1, post: 913698, member: 22857"] I think I read somewhere that you shouldn't do intense exercise if you're above 13 or so because it can send your glucose up. "Therefore, precautions to take against hyperglycemia include not exercising if: [LIST] [*]Your blood sugar is above 13 mmol/s (240 mg/dl), especially with positive urine test for ketonuria, as exercising could result in higher blood sugars and lead to [URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-complications/diabetic-ketoacidosis.html']diabetic ketoacidosis[/URL]. Follow your doctor's advice to lower blood sugar before recommencing exercise. [*]You are sick with flu, infection or another illness that is worsening blood sugar control. [*]If your blood sugar level is above 13 mmols/l (240 mg/dl) but less than 17 mmols/l (300 mg/dl), limit your activity to moderate intensity (walking, light biking), rather than a high intensity exercise (running, weight lifting, tennis)."
