[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 89631, member: 12578"] I experienced cramps several times before diagnosis, both during exercise and at night. It hasn't reoccurred so the most logical explanation is that it was caused by exercising with very high glucose levels. Gum disease is also directly associated with the high levels. (I also had that and sadly my dentist didn't think to suggest the possible cause :( )) If by reducing your insulin before exercise you end up with too high a level then you may be defeating the object. If you are above 13.9mmol, before exercise, you should check to see if you have ketones (you should be checking anyway with concistently hig levels. If they are present you have too little circulating insulin and your BG levels may rise further still .
