[QUOTE="LesleyB, post: 7833, member: 4691"] Advice I have been given is not to exercise if your BG is above 15m/mols as this can cause problems, i generally only exercise if my BG is between 6 and 12. It is a bit of trial and error though (which part of diabetes isn't!) I would start with an easy regime at the gym then gradually increase it. I started a very easy regime, got bored and doubled it, this made me unwell, I got massive highs after the gym and then massive hypos during the night. It is also a good idea to take less of your fast acting insulin with your evening meal than you would usually take to avoid hypos during the night. [/QUOTE]
