[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2371144, member: 372717"] Congrats on running 7km. It won't have gone to waste even if you had to take some carbs for it. (I know I feel your pain, I hate having to take glucose for hypos when I am trying to eat low carb to reduce my weight and insulin resistance.) Even if the calories matched out (which I doubt they did) taking exercise improves your fitness levels (your heart will thank you) and generally speeds up your metabolism for hours after the exercise finishes. Have you considered taking slightly less insulin before the exercise? Honestly, I find exercise a painful balancing act (if my bg is 8 before I exercise I need more insulin, if it's 5 I need more carbs), but I know that the exercise benefits my body, even if I have to juggle carbs and insulin to perform it. Good luck. Keep running. [/QUOTE]
