exercise

Hello, i want to go to a gym(pilates sessions) but the times of sessions are very close to meals. So there is a big danger of strong hypos. How should i adjust the dosage? Is there any general rule for this situation? Thanks a lot.

Any advice for exercise as a T1 diabetic on Novarapid and Lantus regime? My doctors state that my glycogen stores are pretty depleted, thus am suffering with awful blood sugar crashes from even walking for thirty minutes I am on the waiting list for a pump, so I'm.curious as to what you guys...

Hi Everyone. I am on the pump and have been for a few year now. I have started cycling to work. It is 7km and i do it in 25-30mins. However, I'm really struggling to manage the sugar levels post the activity. They can go insanely high (20.2 as i write this!!!! - before the cycle it was 6.2) or...

Im 18 years old and have T1D since 11, it has been badly controlled for years due to burnout. my blood sugars are still high but at the moment i am starting to eat very healthily. i want to do exercise and i look forward to it but every time im about to, i check my blood sugar and it's too...

Hi guys. Im really at a point now where im considering the low carb high fat diet. Im a type 1 have been for 16 years and my control isnt the best. Im making small steps in the right direction and hope im ready to commit to really getting on track and perhaps going onto lchf soon. My question...

I,ve been type one Diabetic for 15 years (now 19) and I've recently been having an issue when exercising. Particularly when in the gym my muscles shake after any exercise. This feels very similar to taking a hypo but my blood sugar levels are normal. It has really put me off exercising as it's...

Hi All, I thought I would be brave by waking up 30 minutes earlier than I normally do, to squeeze in a workout - as I just cant be bothered to during my lunch break or when I get back home from work. I decided to do a low intensity, 20 minute cycling session on my stationary bike. I checked my...

I thought someone might like to talk about the weather where they are. Are you having a storm or a wonderfully sunny day? We are having a couple days of overcast weather with small showers. It is still fairly warm here so it is making my lawn grow-I had to mow it and rake up fall leaves today...

Hi all, After injecting my arms, stomach and legs for 19 years I have recently found myself in need of some advice for my stomach area. I attend Lindy Hop and Tap dancing lessons once a week and love it, and im male at the age of 29. However I do not like the way my stomach looks as I have...

So I'm a t1d teenager going back to school soon. My family just moved a few months ago (pre diabetes diagnosis) though it was only a little more than a mile it was into a new school zone so it will also be a new school though I fortunately know some people there. Other than the regular back to...

Hi!! I have basically set myself the challenge of becoming a lightweight rower in a year. I'm taking a year out to work before returning to uni to do my masters, hopefully on the lightweight rowing team. I have been off sport for ages with injuries, and now am trying a threefold measure of...

Hi Its 7 months since I was diagnosed type 2 and things are getting better almost every day. I have, as it seems most people have, done alot of research. read alot of stuff asked questions and if i am honest i think I have diabetic brain info overload, so I have in essence created some very...

Hey everyone! I'm having some problems in adjusting my basal dose in the pump when I do any physical activity - I'm ending up always having hypoglycemias, not during the exercise (I usually put the TBD in 90 or 80%), but specially at night =( Does anyone have any experience to share so I can...

Hi folks, I wonder can you help me. I'm not currently diabetic but my dad and all his family is (Type 2), and I'm considered high risk as my BMI is pretty high, so I'm trying to get my weight down, eat better and exercise. I get tired when I eat carbs, so I'm trying to cut down on them during...

Good day my beautiful friends! I hope that you are all very well today! I need your guidance with the following please: The theory: Basal insulin’s primary job is to keep blood glucose levels in check during periods of fasting, including sleeping. While fasting, the liver continuously secretes...

Hi all! Hoping for some advice, I've Googled this but can't find any info about how to counteract this! Hope you can help! I've recently taken up kick-boxing (just the work-out, not fighting), and it's really intense and I'm really enjoying it! But after every session, my sugar levels sky...

Hi all! I hope this post will help other "newbies" looking for direction and hope! I was diagnosed T2 at the end of January 2016 (HBA1c 52, FBG 8.8). As so often for others, went to the Doc's for something else and "bang" there you go! There followed he usual barrage of feet, eye checks, and...

I have a little half plot allotment. Got it rather late last year so wasn't able to grow a great variety of things. We are just getting seeds in now and are trying to grow diabetic-friendly foods (i.e. no potatoes). Do other members have allotments and want to swap notes? Prov.

Hellooooooo Every time I go cycling I have to carry a bag with me to keep snacks in, this is annoying during hot weather as the snacks get warm and my back is agitated by the bag! What do you all do in preparation of exercise? I wish I wasn't so scared of low blood sugars while I am far away...

Hi everyone, This is the first time I've tried anything like this but I've been having major problems recently since I started upping the amount of running that I do with having low blood sugars particularly at night. I'm type 1 on multiple injections a day and I've done the dafne course so...
