[QUOTE="1abRat, post: 1157139, member: 297123"] Are you having carbs before exercising? When I used to play Ice Hockey I found that for the training sessions (more relaxed, lower impact) I would need to have around 15g of medium-acting carbs like a PB Sandwich beforehand and occasionally the odd sip of Lucozade during. For matches however (stressful, more intense) I discovered that I needed quite the opposite! I'd end up having 2 IU of Novorapid beforehand and no carbs during. I would then need some fairly quick acting carbs like Fruit Pastilles x3 followed by a Digestive biscuit bar as soon as the match was over or when I knew I wouldn't need to go on the ice again as I dropped like a stone once I relaxed. Exercise is a tricky one and you might need some very careful trial and error to get a decent routine going but you'll sort it out I'm sure. No activity should be off limits to you because you're T1.
