[QUOTE="becca59, post: 2230502, member: 264425"] Just in case you weren’t told when injecting, count to 10 before withdrawing the needle to ensure all insulin has gone in. Regarding exercise, we are all different and different types of exercise will also affect us differently. It is a steep learning curve but one that is individual and will only emerge over time. I would maybe be more inclined to sip from a bottle of juice whilst active, or munch the odd dextrose/Jelly Baby if you feel you are dropping too quickly. They will put you right quicker, enabling you to continue. And if you take in moderation will not make you higher than you would like later on. I have been known to munch a dextrose in the 15 second end lane rest between lengths during my swim fit sessions. Some exercise makes us continue to rise hours afterwards, so eating too much would just make this worse. [/QUOTE]
