Message: <blockquote data-quote="ert" data-source="post: 2343524" data-attributes="member: 504712">Beware of correction doses of insulin and exercise. It's a sure way to cause a drastic hypo either within the class or over the next 36 hours.I suggest you start investigating and ask your consultant before resorting to correction doses before exercise (as fast-acting insulin plus exercise is something I am unable to do. On rare occasions, I correct after exercise with food.). What were your BS's before you started the class? Had you eaten any food before the class that wasn't covered by insulin? Had your BS returned to normal after your last meal? When did you last take fast-acting before the class? Could it be your basal is running out at this time?Exercise always lowers blood glucose (BG) on a 24-hour basis, but sometimes exercise also briefly raises BG following a workout.</blockquote>
