[QUOTE="charlotte, post: 7695, member: 6988"] Hello im 22 and newly diagnosed this is the information i was given i hope it makes sense and helps If your blood sugar level is less than 100 mg/dl prior to exercise, take a carbohydrate snack prior to beginning the exercise. A good rule of thumb is to add 15 grams of carbohydrates (1 Carbohydrate Exchange) to your usual diet for each 30 minutes of moderate exercise, or for each 15 minutes of intense exercise. If your blood sugar level is higher than 100 mg/dl before exercise, it is probably not necessary to take the carbohydrate snack before a light exercise session, but you may need extra carbohydrates 1/2 hour to 2 hours following the exercise. Add 1530 grams of carbohydrate (12 Carbohydrate Exchanges) to the next meal or snack if your blood sugar dips below 70 mg/dl within an hour or more following exercise. Charlotte x [/QUOTE]
