Just eat a higher amount of calories, many people would love to have the chance to do that!

Jesus 3hrs!! 40 min is enough for me, I do my best and pushing it at that but usually do 15Km in around 40 min.

Maybe you're going to bed too early and not tired enough to sleep?

A fantastic post and great reading!! As we have all gained a few years from this being one of my first posts, but are all the members that commented on here still on the forum??

I love exercise classes! mine are usually at least an hour any VERY intense. Circuits / boot camps / HITT / Boxercise. I just make sure my readings are a little higher than normal, eat something high carb before hand, bread, porridge etc and inject less than i normally would = all ok.

I personally run 3K every other day and usually start with higher readings to stay safe, sometimes higher than you and after the run they can be down to normal 4-8mmol. I dont see this to being a problem. It depends if you may continue to drop or weather you continue to do more exercises.

Lower your carbs and calories less to what you consume per day = you will loose weight. Do more exercise to burn calories including building muscle = You will loose fat and gain weight in muscle = more toned muscle defined body. And be slimmer. All good :)

I know everyone is different but i have always said allot of people are injecting far to much insulin or just what there doctors told them. (Do they have diabetes?) I do allot of circuit / HITT training classes - a least 1 hour each session and if your not sweating your not training hard enough...

I change it when it feels blunt. I doubt it will affect the readings really. All health and safety rubbish. I cant be bothered to keep changing it tbh. I have it on 10 anyway as im still scared of pushing it down hard evern on a lower number lol.

I have found that when injecting lantus it doesn't 'kick in' until 4 hours after injecting. It is supposed to be a slow working insulin but i have found it doesn't really do anything until that point then very quickly works like Novorapid. This is why i am very very careful on how many units i...

I use a 'pill box' do a search. There like a tupperware box with 7 small tubs (1 for each day) with sectioned morning, lunch, evening , bed ,

Trying to build muscle mainly. I still try eat a good amount of 'real' protein such as eggs, chicken and red meat when i can. Im trying to get a bit bigger 'bulk up' as they say. I use a make called matrix nutrition (loads on ebay) cheaper if you buy in quantity - 5kg tub of lean mass high...

I have them every other day, Just make sure you compensate with some fast acting insulin as many are very high in sugar.

Asda were doing 3 for 1pound on a small dark 80%. Cant remember name sorry

This is what i do, morning lantus and night then correct highs / meals with novarapid. I sometimes higher the lantus if i think it will raise in the night due to slow release carbs.

Yeah the shop prices can be extortionate but thats on the high street. Try online. Many are whey proteins and soya additives. Trivia rather than canderal? Trivia tastes strange to me, a bit sourish :meh:

The majority of the brands are very similar in contents; some very high in carbs especialy if they are energy / mass gainers, just check the ingredients and %contents . Matrix nutrition, maximuscle etc. I often get them off eBay as the are a 1/4 of the price as from many high street shops. Use...

I weight train and have quite a lot of carbs to give me the energy but some seem to think fat can do the same (Me - No). I have probably (50-100g) before i start 1-2hr muscle / circuit / boxercise) Try a lean mass protein powder which is high carb content.

Me personally. I do a range of exercise classes and personal workouts. Varied amounts of times. I usually make sure my levels are higher than they usually are when beginning exercise, 10+ ; eat something to raise them before i start. I can do a 1 hour circuit, HIT or boxercise class, then do...

Why would it affect your medication? As people always say check with your doctor before listening to me. I do casual weight training and take many supplements . I am type 1. I eat generally healthy with the odd treat. I take fish oil / omegas. 2 multi vitamin supplements. ZMA creatine...
