[QUOTE="timo2, post: 7715, member: 6250"] 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: [url]http://www.runsweet.com[/url] good luck, timo.
