[QUOTE="smidge, post: 395700, member: 29301"] [b]Re: Running & liver dumps - ways to avoid?[/b] Hey Sunshine! Well, I don't run but I do use the cross-trainer and I do swim (quite badly so using lots of energy as I spplash around trying not to drown :lol: ) So, I'll try to answer your questions, but I'm certain there will be other people who know better than me. A) Yes. High BGs is bad no matter what caused them. However, you'll probably find they won't stay high very long and they will be generally lower for the next day or so. That's what i find after exercise anyway, so i have to reduce my bolus and basal the following day - although often I leave the basal the same but have a biscuit mid morning. B) Possibly. Before swimming, I test my BG and if I'm in the 5s or below I have a jelly baby (which will take me up to 7-8ish. That means that I am unlikely to drop too low, hypo and liver dump. I think if you take just a small amount of carb before exercise you might find your BG doesn't shoot up. It works for me anyway, but I'd also be interested to hear any more knowledgeable views on it.
