[QUOTE="RussG, post: 195591, member: 30691"] Hi, I've been upping my exercise regime (from 'not much' to 'some') to try to shift some of the weight I've put on since starting taking insulin. One of the things I've been doing is playing racquetball. I've played four times over the last few weeks. Once my BG plunged after exercise, once it skyrocketed and twice it's been up and down. According to what I read, this seems fairly normal for racquetball / squash, as it is high intensity and often leads to unpredictable hypo or hyper glycaemia. My question is this: should I take a correction dose after exercise if my levels have gone up significantly? At what levels would people recommend triggering a correction dose? Any advice would be welcome. [/QUOTE]
