[QUOTE="Lambey, post: 565711, member: 109684"] Hi all, I'm new to the forum and have just recently started running (six weeks now!). I'm a T1 diabetic, running 5k between 3 and 5 times a week and have also just started dosing my bolus by carb counting. I tend to run after work, which is usually three and half hours after lunch time and just inject the dose needed for my meal. However, I've found I am starting most runs with a BG of 13.5 or higher, but this always comes down to around 4 post run. Today it was 16.5 before my run and finished on 4.5 post run - I had to postpone taking my tea time injections until after I had eaten. Is it causing any harm for my sugar level to go this high and could I approach exercise in a better way? My BG consistently falls with running, even with a BG of 13.5 and eating an apple 15 minutes before running (35 min run), I will finish on 4 and possibly risk a hypo later on. Any advice appreciated Thanks [/QUOTE]
