[QUOTE="Jeff_uk, post: 1381201, member: 339171"] Morning [USER=129131]@Deano79[/USER], JRDF have just published a document about exercise and diabetes, it's a great read. I've just got home from a 10 mile jog, it's been very hit and miss over the last 5 months with training but seem to have cracked it. Remember what works for me might not be right for you. I eat a big bowl of porridge before leaving the house, just waiting enough time for my bloods to start rising. I tend to have 1x gluco tablet every 8 minutes, normally don't chew them, just let them dissolve in my mouth (sure my teeth will love it long term) I've got a freestyle libre at the minute but it stopped working this morning as it was too cold. I've got back 1 hr 30 minutes later with BG at 5.2mmol so had a cereal bar and will reduce my insulin for the next 24 hours. This has taken me a while to get to grips with, it's difficult but I've just had to keep checking myself all the time to work out how my body is dealing with it. I probably test my BG about 20 times in the 24 hour period after running, and also check trends with the freestyle libre. Hope this helps a little, I'm pretty new to all this as I've only been diagnosed type1 for 5 months [/QUOTE]
