Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 527103" data-source="post: 2689445">Going for a walk and doing intensive exercise are completely different things.I would not do intensive exercise when I have fast acting insulin on board.For example, I go to the gym, climbing wall or spin class after work before my evening meal.Whilst a walk may stop your BG going too high, a Spin class would make my BG plummet if I had active insulin on board.My suggestion to [USER=586935]@Jingaling[/USER] is trial and error as it depends on- the type of exercise- what you are eating- your fitness- whether you are taking the exercise into consideration when calculating the insulin for your mealI prefer to pre-bolus to avoid the highs rather than relying on time for a walk.But, we are all different. Hence the need for trial and error to learn how your body works rather than assuming someone else will have the body, mind and lifestyle as we do.</blockquote>
