[QUOTE="Daver, post: 444354, member: 25939"] Hi, Yes, thanks to you both and no need to apologise for the trains of thought; I do exercise regularly and I'm not overweight, but good points to cover. I do keep the insulin in the fridge etc but good idea on starting a new cartridge; I've never had to doubt the insulin itself before but perhaps that's my naivety. I generally move the injection sites around but didn't know that you could become resistant to it in one zone. I have since read some other forums and found some good points regarding the affects of cooler weather on blood glucose and a great article on spikes after a meal: [url=http://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/articles/high-blood-glucose/strike-the-spike-ii/1/]http://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/a ... pike-ii/1/[/url] I will consider the carb reduction too; however, I do go swimming so need the carbs before-hand to prevent hypo-ing in the pool. It's such a flippin' balancing act with everything. Much appreciated and if anyone else can share their thoughts, they'd be gratefully received. All the best ~ Dave [/QUOTE]
