[QUOTE="Colquig, post: 1284961, member: 344100"] All very interesting. As I have posted in a different thread, my main problem is the immediate rise in the blood sugar levels prior to a fairly energetic game of five a side. Considering this is with a like minded group of 35 to 53 year olds (my age) all in decent shape, it will give you an idea of the pace of the game, that lasts one hour. I have been dogged with the problem all my adult playing life - we will say the past 25 non-competitive years. My insulin dose is low - 15 lantus per day, 5 novo rapid per day plus eltroxin for the thyroid. I must admit to getting a little lost on the technical stuff that featured in some of the earlier posts. Am particularly interested in the notion of taking an extra dose of novo prior to staring games. Bear in mind the games take place at 7.30 in the evenings. As the sugars rise - and they were between 14 and 16 last week during the game- though pretty good all day - between 4 and 10, I was literally unable to function properly. It is frustrating, when I see other guys my age playing comfortably and it is not from lack of effort on my behalf. Adrenalin also plays a part. This occurs as I look forward to each session. Great to get out and to clear the head. Should I take a bolus of one unit/ one and a half before game starts. Is it more effective to take it five minutes before or half an hour before? I understand well that each individual is different. Does anyone think that it is worth a try. And of course the levels invariable drop during the period after the exercise. Often at ten o'clock the next morning. The carbs are always close by. Appreciate the advice from anyone who may have experienced this conundrum with the old diabetes control. [/QUOTE]
