[QUOTE="oldgreymare, post: 2365007, member: 20373"] Sadly, I cannot agree. Been diagnosed T1 12 years, only last 18 months using a CGM. Pragmatically I may well be a "double" diabetic - low food intake (of any type!), low stress, low exertion and only slow long duration cardio exercise and my BG profile looks good and indicative of an insulin sensitive T1. So in theory able to handle using appropriately measured carbs/insulin dosing. BUT any high intensity exercise (and I SO need this to combat my osteoporosis and keep muscle mass) easily sends my BGs soaring (to 20's). As do ANY carbs within 3 hours of my dawn phenomenon. Both can take a long time/extra insulin to resolve. I also need to bolus significant amounts of insulin for protein. I cannot ignore any indications of insulin resistance. Diabetes is such an extremely complicated disease for all - there are no black and white rules - we all need to work out what works for us individually. [/QUOTE]
