[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2463750, member: 527103"] - it is not unsafe to exercise at 4 to 5mmol/l if it stays stable. However, you are more at risk of going hypo so it is not recommended - I would always reduce my basal for the day after exercise. This depends on your basal as Tresiba is very long lasting and any changes can take 3 or 4 days to take effect. If you are using Tresiba, it may be beneficial to request a twice daily basal such as Levemir which provides more flexibility - one tip I was given for exercise and lowering levels is to add something sweet to my water bottle - a very dilute fruit squash or fruit juice so maintain levels rather than letting them drop [/QUOTE]
