Message: <blockquote data-quote="EllieM" data-source="post: 1757599" data-attributes="member: 372717">OK, going back on topic.  I'm personally pretty lazy and have never tended to exercise enough (nothing to do with diabetes, I've been bad at sport since birth <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />)  BUT6 years ago I started to have back issues (again, nothing to do with diabetes, I have a congenitally slightly dodgy spine). I started doing more formal exercise (eg going to gym) to improve my health and (hopefully) fix my back issues (improved core strength).  Healthwise, I am so glad I did this as it both fixed my back issues and made me feel much better generally.  T1wise, I just always make sure I have plenty of glucose with me. I also find heavy exercise tends to reduce my basal needs the next day, but I regard this as a good thing.Exercise and diabetes - just go for it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. And I was lucky enough to have a personal trainer at the gym I went to who was also T1, so he always understood if I went low during a session.</blockquote>
