[QUOTE="kelp84, post: 144947, member: 22335"] Hi, I have had type one diabetes for 17 years. I normally have it under ok control (tend to keep between 5 and 10) but I think I only manage this because I do blood tests about 8 or 9 times a day. Lately, I have been on a diet and managed to lose about a stone, it has been hard as I have obviously had to change my insulin dose gradually as I eat less. I am having two big problems that I really would like advice on... First, whilst I have been growing up I have always been advised that exercise helps to bring down sugar levels. This doesnt seem to be the way for me, everytime I go to the gym I seem to spike up, into the 18's and 19's... Is this normal? I am sure this hasnt happened to me before. I seem to just be running so high lately, and now I have started suffering with really tight muscles in my legs and I am not sure if this is related to my levels being high, I have started trying to keep a diary of what I am eating and insulin I am taking, I used to see a doctor about my levels, but have recently been moved to see a nurse and she doesnt seem as supportive... My Hb1ac has raised from 7.6 to 8.4 as per my last check and my control of levels has deteriorated since that was taken, Any advice anyone can offer me would be really useful, as you can imagine these high levels are really starting to get to me Thanks xx [/QUOTE]
