[QUOTE="Lambey, post: 567237, member: 109684"] THANK YOU ALL! Your advice has been really useful and is greatly appreciated. I've not been able to run since as I've strained my ankle on the last run. However, I took the advice of Bebo321 and scaled back my basal insulin this morning to 9 units instead of 12. I carb counted my meals and allowed a couple of units of insulin extra and maintained better BG level today: 5.8 before breakfast, 7.8 at lunch and 8.0 three and a half hours later. I had a yoghurt and a small biscuit before a 40 minute bike ride and finished on 4.3 and 5.6 by tea (after Kiwi fruit). I guess the real test will be when I run tomorrow! Just don't want any huge spikes and big drops. I do try to keep safe and never leave the house when exercising without testing kit and glucose tabs, so will continue to experiment. I've also started to keep a really detailed exercise log for when I get my new diabetic appointment (last one was cancelled), so I can show my consultant. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
