Well did your bs shoot up after you corrected the low blood sugar? that would indicate delayed carb digestion due to high fat content of the meal. If after correcting your sugar was stable or continued to fall then you had too much insulin for the carb content.

This literally happens after 2-3 mins of fast walking not after strenuous exercise by any means.

Thanks for the tip noble, went to the gp and had an ultrasound of legs done. Ruled out any arterial condition.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and can comment on it. Recently any extended walking, power walking or running has been causing me to feel large amounts of pressure and pain in the lower legs mostly on the outer compartment outside of the shins. Seems like exercise induced...

^ HbA1c is measured in mols per mol which can be given as a percentage, blood glucose levels are measured in weight per volume.

Don't know what conversion you're using but: 126 mmol/mol equals 13.7% which is far too high 63 mmol/mol equals 7.9% which is still somewhat high

http://www.theonion.com/articles/nation-shudders-at-large-block-of-uninterrupted-te,16932/ Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I have a bit of a theory for this: During the day you have hormones like glucagon present in your system which cause you to release glucose from your liver in a more or less steady rate and under stressful circumstances the amount of glucagon increases equaling more free glucose. The presence...

The nurses recommendation of 15 units is much too high for you it seems, cutting it down to 14 wont do much considering how low you are dropping over night. I would reduce it to 10 or 8 and take note of your bg difference over night and adjust your levemir accordingly, just make sure you don't...

This doesn't make any sense, you are getting hypos without using insulin? Are you measuring your blood glucose at all? Insulin is a major hormone for retaining fat stores and promoting muscle protein synthesis but without knowing how many carbs you have per day and the amount of insulin you use...

It seems like everyone has said what they can to be supportive, I just wanted to chime in and say that your Hba1c is awesome and don't lose sight of keeping it that way :).

Hard to see how this is possible with red blood cells having a lifetime of about 3-4 months, hope you didn't get there with too many lows. In anycase good job! thats the kind of hba1c I love to see!

I just turned 21 9 minutes ago, I've had type 1 for just over a year and I've been regimented ever since, I workout, cook all my food and my hba1c is always in the 5's. I'm absolutely determined to never let it slip though I know realistically this is impossible but I've got the tools at my...

Thanks for sharing guys, the exercise I do nowadays is mostly boxing and lifting weights which are both on the anaerobic side, I'll incorporate a daily run or jog and track my progress with regard to my heart rate.

I still would like to hear form you :) . Did you manage to lower it through medication, diet, exercise etc?

Hi I'm curious as to what the average resting heart rate is among t1's. I mostly ask because mine seems to be quite high in comparison to others that I am as physically fit as, my resting heart rate regularly lies between 85 and 100bpm while before diagnosis it was 69-70bpm. If you're not too...

Hahaha sure but a tract is a fairly expansive area so staying on it isn't doesn't have any significance whereas a track is quite thin and leads to something important .;)

Hate to be that guy but: "Staying on *track*" :hilarious:

Not to be a negative nancy but I just facepalmed the whole way through this thread. Can't believe what I'm reading.

As a guy who lifts weights quite often I notice I have this hours after a hypo, its like a hypo lowers my strength and energy for the rest of the day.
