[QUOTE="Knikki, post: 1961968"] Hello [USER=493261]@Kaye182[/USER] you might find that after strenuous exercise you blood sugar levels go up, there is a reason but can't remember. I'll tag [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] as she runs and does rock climbing and is T1. As for me as a rule (it's what works for me) I am cautious about going the gym unless I'm around 8mmol because doing gym work, cardio and weights always drop my sugars. I have a CGM so makes things a little easier, then I tend to stop when I hit the 4mmol mark. However as guide, yes take something that can treat hypos quick, dextrose or jelly babies. Listen to what your body is telling you if you feeling odd measure your bloods. If your playing football, then I guess their your mates so be open with them tell em your T1D and what to do if you start to hypo. As for a meal, not sure on that one so long as your not got a stack of insulin on board when you start you should be ok, but again learning curve I'm afraid, we are all different and hardly these things in a variety of ways. Other than that there should be no reason why you can't do what you want, just take it easy and learn from what you do. If you use the "search" function on the forum you will find some threads about running that may be useful. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
