[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2475451, member: 53162"] That's a good strategy [USER=519701]@Doug88[/USER] - it is very much trial and error to start with but then you quickly get to know your thresholds and limits. Personally I use the gym when dealing with stubborns highs as I find that when coasting in the teens, about 20-30 mins on either the rower, bike or just weights can kick that into touch, but otherwise I do the same and make sure I am above 8mmol/l before starting otherwise 10g of carb, or I have 10g carb at the end to stop me going into a hypo. Running I prefer mornings as more insulin resistant then but always start above 7mmol/l if doing 5km then no action, for 10km or more then temp basal 1 hour before and 15-20g of carb before. Cycling is still a tricky one, as i've almost ended up in a ditch few times now due to running low after an hour on the road bike altho regular glucose hits throughout seem to work best as well as temp basal, but have stayed off the bike recently as I find running and the gym my favourite and safest options ;) [/QUOTE]
