Hello everyone :)

Tonight I have an hour and a half of netball but due to timings I will need to have dinner before. Now, since being diagnosed I have always made sure I exercised before dinner. I still sometimes get t wrong as I have a delayed drop even when i inject only 1/2/3 units for dinner after exercise. Therefore, I'm unsure whether I inject for dinner at all tonight? Thanks!

I guess it would depend what you're eating but I would reduce bolus and test prior to netball, and after. Take a snack with you.

Thanks! In the end I didn't inject at all for dinner as when I tested my levels pre meal I was 3.5 and hadn't even realised! All worked out fine for the rest of the evening by not injecting, taking some glucose tablets pre exercise and some toast post exercise. Going to bed at a good level!

Nice once, will done. Hopefully you can establish a pattern for future reference :)
