[QUOTE="rkeane, post: 135543, member: 20550"] Hi I usually try and get my run in just after one of my main meals, whether its breakfast, lunch or dinner.I don't like having to eat more just to exercise. Defeats the purpose really! It's usually after dinner due to my work routine and I usually half my insulin before my 40 min run. After it my levels ae around 8 an I just have to be careful to eat something before bed as I can easily hypo in the night. At the weekends, I tend to go for my run in the morning and it took me quite a while to figure out insulin. Again I half the amount of insulin but have to have an extra piece of fruit or carb to keep my blood sugars level throughout my exercise session. I don't know why I need extra carbs with my morning exercise but just make sure you do reduce your insulin or increase your carbs. Also each meal has different carbs so be careful with thatwhen adjusting your insulin dosage. Goodluck [/QUOTE]
