[QUOTE="NigelM, post: 9907, member: 1728"] Young, On other thing to add to the excellent advice above is the fact that after a harder workout, the body carries on expending energy repairing and growing tissue so you can suffer low bs quite a time after the actual exercise. I don't go to the gym very often, but have continued to go skiing, sailing and ountain biking, all of which can have this delayed effect. The other thing that does it is mowing the lawn, of all things. The first few times after being diagnosed I couldn't work out why I was feeling low! I also do quite of lot of singing and doing that properly uses upblood sugar. I have been type 1 for 8 years now and still find that there are things that effect my blood sugar, which I hadn't thought about. Moving house recently was one - carrying boxes around is a prety good workout. I bought a couple of books which covered diabetes and exercise and worked it out from there. If you do progress on to meal time insulin, you will have to adjust the regime you adopt to cope. The good news is that, despite being overwhelmed by it all in the first few weeks, I have found that I have been able to continuing doing all the things I enjoy. Best of luck in sorting it all out!
