Hiya
I'm hoping for some advice. I've been t1 for 4 years, but because of other health problems & injury I haven't done any form of exercise since being diagnosed. Now my health is alot more stable & I have just started to play wheelchair basketball. I use a wheelchair because of spinal injure, but I haven't a clue if I should adjust my insulin on the days I'm going to play.
I use levermir in the morning, 38 units. Which is alot but I have to take prednisone daily. Then I use novo rapid 5 units for 1g carb.
Today was my first training session so I took my 38 units of levermir. Had 30g porridge with rice milk so took 12 units of novo rapid. My bm was 8.6 before exercise. After training it was 4.2. I had some lunch, sandwich
& 1 oat biscuit. Then took 12 units of insulin now my bm after 1 hour of eatting is 10.8. Bit higher than I would like but I reduced my lunch time insulin. I wasn't sure what effect exercise would have on my bms
