    High BG after mild exercise

    See it was consistently stable before. By before I mean when I couldn't excerise due to my condition. I was hospitalized last week. The BG levels were fine fasting and PP as well. I was doing mild stretching under the physiotherapist's guidance. Now I'm home. Doing the exact same thing. But...

    Type 1 and appropriate shoes !!!

    This might seem like an odd question but what kind of shoes are the best for walking & running?

    How often do you change the lancet?

    Started out by changing it for every test. Then every day. Now i change it when it starts to hurt and I don't get blood. Been pricking my fingers for almost 3 years now. But I change it for every test if I'm travelling or outdoors.
