[QUOTE="hale710, post: 419309, member: 62974"] Thanks qbix I don't consider myself to low carb, but I rarely exceed 150g per day (that is how I always ate before anyway!) I LOVE porridge and eat it for breakfast a work usually I don't enjoy bread so rarely eat it anyway. Occasionally a bagel if I'm out and about but not often Lunch is provided at work, and is surprisingly good. Soups and salad and plenty options available. I have a puppy so I walk him daily which gives me lows, so I need to eat while I do it which is a pain! Like you I e started increasing fitness too, I've started running twice a week with the puppy to tire us both out. It causes havoc with my BG though which really puts me off it I'm on 3 units levemir at 6pm. If I've been for a run I reduce this to 1 unit (DSN suggestion) With meals I'm on 0.5 unit Novorapid for 8g carb. Usually 0.5 - 2 units per meal. I'm very insulin sensitive already, so if I correct I only take half unit to bring me down 3mmol/l I guess I could try parking further away, that would bring me down in the mornings just a touch if I walked further. So that's a good idea! I rarely snack, I prefer to drink mint tea if I have the urge as the mint acts as an appetite suppressant. I do eat a Jaffa cake (9g carb) when out walking the dog (usually about 5k) to prevent hypo. I could maybe try something only 5 or 6g instead next time [/QUOTE]
