If your meter is off-scale high (which for mine would be >24mmol/l iirc, then I completely agree you do need to know what you're doing and determine why you're so high and whether exercise is in fact a good idea. Though with that said walking can never hurt.)I don't know what the recommendations are for a T2 and whether there is a potential for a lack of insulin and therefore DKA, but I think in many ways the picture is clearer if you're T1 (and not on a pump) at least you know how much insulin you've given yourself (with pump blockages being a potential problem for those using them). As with all things diabetes related, YMMV.This link is regarding T1s rather than T2s, but might be of interest:[URL unfurl="true"]https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/should-you-exercise-with-high-blood-glucose-exercise-management-in-type-1-diabetes-a-consensus-statement-from-the-lancet.108996/[/URL]</blockquote>
