[QUOTE="teacher123, post: 876512, member: 179588"] Hey guys - ventured out on my first run since I was diagnosed as type 1 now that my BG levels are consistently in the 4-8 range, bar a few hypos here and there. Here is my readings from the run... I had waited three and half hours after breakfast so that the 4 units of novorapid had been used up. Before run, BG levels were 4.8 so I took 150ml of lucozade on board before I set off. After 10 minutes of steady running my BG levels were 6.0 After 20 minutes of running and short cool down they were 5.6 Checked 30 minutes later, they were dropping to 4.9 (12:30) so reduced my bolus by 1 unit to three units and had 2 sandwiches, an apple and some oatcakes. 30 minutes after this (13:00) I hypo'd as dropped to 3.6 so kept monitoring closely after this and here are readings: 30 minutes after hypo (13:30) - 6.5 At 14:30 4.6 At 15:30 5.0 - had coffee and short walk into town. Nice to finally be out running again, it seems that my sugars suddenly drop an hour after the exercise and guess just needs more trial and error to see what works best. Should I have more lucozade on board pre-running and that might prevent the hypo? Andy [/QUOTE]
