[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 1379222, member: 94348"] Hi, vans, not sure whether you are a woman or man. For women there is, or i found there was for me, the added problem re insulin sensitivity changes through a month - just had to avoid a lot of times as too dangerous. Re the TBR now i am on the pump exercise is still a problem, though less so - but even for a short walk i will halve the BR about 30 mins before i leave, but still have carbs as well, and still may go a little hypo if not very careful. i imagine each person is different. Though i do not swim now, my general advice would be never to get near 4.0 even at the end of a swim.... 8.0 would be much better - you can always sort things safely later and might go on going down. When i passed out in pool i had tested first, and had had carbs first, and had not swum more than 15 mins, so on the face of it i should have been safe - if it had not been a nearly empty pool so i was seen immediately by all 3 lifeguards, who dived to rescue me (i have no memory of this at all and came to on the wet cold edge of the pool, with an ambulance man looking down at me ) i would not be here now. .......there is a good post by fletchweb in thread New study/handbook on exercise for Type ones. keep safe [/QUOTE]
