Hi All

Would like to start a few light weights and some boxing, I get that I should eat more carbs before I exercise but am I supposed to adjust insulin too? I currently inject 24 units (which I don't think will ever change..) and am a but scared to mess with it. My average BG is now 120 which I'm very happy with, just from not eating as much bread etc

Any advice welcome and appreciated, thanks
 
I see your a type 2 on insulin, if your unsure about adjusting your insulin or increasing your carbs then ask your diabetes team to advise you.
 
Thanks Noblehead, was hoping to avoid going to them, all I ever get there is "you must eat carbs!"....

Makes sense to eat more carbs before a workout, I guess, with the insulin it'll have to be trial and error, take the kit to gym and measure sugar every half hour or so..
