[QUOTE="SimonP78, post: 2674179, member: 556474"] Indeed I should have caveated it "everyone is different"! Two things here, I don't usually snack if I'm high - I'm not normally hungry if I'm high, but if I've been running high for a while (which means the corrections aren't working very well) I'll not throw more fuel on the fire and will therefore eat nuts/cheese/cold meats/etc. rather than biscuits. Yes they still have an effect, but much less so. The other thing, which I think it more important (though is actually OT for this thread), is that I don't think the comment about "could be a strain on our bodies which will push levels higher" tells the whole story and I therefore don't think it should be repeated as a mantra (as I've seen elsewhere, see my link below) - the only reason to avoid exercise when high is to avoid ketoacidosis and the criteria for that to happen are very limited (for T1 diabetics who take insulin and who happen to be running high) in my non-medical option. Here's a post of mine on a different forum, and a link to a consensus statement from The Lancet regarding exercise: [URL]https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/should-you-exercise-with-high-blood-glucose-exercise-management-in-type-1-diabetes-a-consensus-statement-from-the-lancet.108996/[/URL] I'm more than happy to be pointed at some research and proven wrong, and will happily amend the threads appropriately, but I just think that for some reason people have it in their heads that they should not exercise when above a certain level (which goes hand in hand with the intense fear of any ketones I've seen on the forums), and this is only a very small part of the story which is almost never applicable (for T1s). I imagine it comes down to what people are being told these days when they are diagnosed, but I don't know, that was all a very long time ago! If we do want to discuss, it might be worth breaking all of this out into its own thread to avoid interfering with the general snack chat! [/QUOTE]
