[QUOTE="QPR4Me, post: 1877165, member: 132584"] I don't know any of the fancy stuff. However, I took up jogging earlier this year aged 59. I did the natural thing of not taking insulin before I went out, thinking that it would cause a hypo when I used up my energy reserves. Of course that was complete BS and I found that a) my running was abysmal and b) I too got a spkie in my blood sugar levels after the run. Simple answer, for me, was to have a slightly reduced insulin dose before I went running (before breakfast) and carry a few Jellybabies with me, just in case. Bingo, a big improvement in my running and stability with my sugar levels. Have not needed to reach for the Jellybabies on any run! [/QUOTE]
