[QUOTE="zoozle, post: 1758180, member: 320701"] I'd suggest attending a DAFNE course if you haven't already - dafneonline.co.uk It will help you get your basal rates correct and identify insulin-to-carb ratios as well as covering exercising with type 1. How exercise affects your management depends on several things. For most T1Ds, anaerobic exercise (short and intense exercise like lifting weights, and doing sprints) will raise blood glucose levels. On the other hand, aerobic exercise such as jogging, cycling, walking will drop blood glucose levels. That is not the case for everyone of course - I know one T1D for whom the exact opposite is true. Two books that I would highly recommend on exercising with T1D are: Your Diabetes Science Experiment: Live Your Life with Diabetes Instead of Letting Diabetes Live Your Life by Ginger Viera and Diabetic Athlete's Handbook: Your guide to peak performance by Sheri Colberg They are both excellent and will cover almost all of what you want to know.
