Train with whatever you like, Biking, Running, walking or even weight training, just exercise. All you have to do is follow some simple rules, if you weight train, test first, and have some simple carbs (banana or pears were my favourite) and train, drink plenty, and when you are finished protein drink (optional if not wanting to bulk) test an hour or hour and a half afterwards and refuel (eat and calculate the carbs), but depending how you have exercised test yourself before you go to bed, as your sugars could drop during the night as the effects settle in ( repair and refill of muscles).You may find after a few weeks of regular exercise your use of insulin will diminish, which on discussion with your DNS and your build up of knowledge and confidence, you can adjust as necessary. But above all [USER=451040]@Dray_F96[/USER] just do it!! as Nike says, been diabetic for 23yrs and have weight trained both seriously and for leisure, and have enjoyed it all, don't let diabetes hold you back.Enjoy whatever exercise you decide to do<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
