hello young,
here's a quick example of what i tend to do. If I'm going to run 3k on the
treadmill I'll eat 30-40g of carbs first and then after the run I'll cut my
next injection down by 20% (from ten to eight) AND I'll eat 20-30g extra carbs
with the meal. and then cross my fingers :mrgreen:
the trick with exercise is to make sure you take in enough carbohydrate
before you begin so that you can avoid hypo.
you may also want to take some fast acting carbs during any
prolonged exercise. Remember that prolonged exercise will
bring your sugars down for upto 6+ hours afterwards
You'll also need to treat hypos quicker if they happen during
exercise, even chocolate contains fat which slows down the
absorption of sugar. Sort yourself out with some hypo-stop
or just use ordinary table sugar.
You also want to be careful if you exersice too soon before
or after an injection - it can really give the insulin more bite.
If you have a meal soon after exercise then it can be a good
idea to inject after the meal instead of before - to give the
carbs chance to get into your system.
Finally you need to find your own limits. No one else can
know exactly how exercise will effect YOU - It's always going to be
your "best guess" until you get into a routine.
here's how the pro diabetics do it:
