I usually have 2 weetabix for breakfast and inject 8,but this morning for example I had 2 weetabix and a banana and NO INSULIN then 1 hour later probably with a blood sugar of 12-14 did 30mins run and 20 mins cross-trainer, had 250mls of orange juice during excercise and still finished with a blood sugar of 3! So I had another piece of bread with no insulin too. If I'd started exercising on say 7 I'd probably have just passed out on the treadmill!Is this just me being weird and using up sugar way too fast or am I doing something seriously wrong here?</blockquote>
