[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1961998, member: 365308"] No reason why you can't get going again. Everyone's different so just test before and after but also take some dextrose. Stick to a normal meal 1-2 hours prior to the exercise but if you simply skip the whole bolus dose you may go to high and this could make you feel rough so I would personally half the dose at that meal. If it is football/running then you may to reduce the dose at the following meal too OR if trying to gain weight (if you've lost some at diagnosis) have a carb/protein snack in between! If you are training for longer than an hour don't forget to snack and take on enough fluid. Sudden intense exercise can cause a spike in glucose (I think this is due to the sudden demand for energy which releases glucose from the muscles or liver) as can doing weights so you will need to experiment there. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
