[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2694587, member: 527103"] Sorry to read about today's diabetes struggles. Is it usual for your BG to be so high when you go to the gym? I ask because I cannot exercise with levels above about 12 mmol/l. I was told that exercising at levels when your body cannot get the energy it needs puts additional stress on your body and can result in BG raising further. And then, the slowness of the correction may be due to a "feature of Fiasp". I find the speed at which it works can vary greatly depending upon my BG. If my BG is in the 4s or low 5s, Fiasp will start working immediately - I need to bolus after eating. However, once my BG is in double figures, it can take forever to start working - it can easily be an hour before I see a change of direction on my CGM graph. These two things would suggest to me (a non healthcare qualified person) that the problem was the high BG at the start of the day. It is as if your breakfast bolus did not work. Have you tried changing your insulin pen? Or is it likely you are going down with a bug? Or didn't sleep as well as usual? Or stressed for some other reason? Sadly, there are so many things that affect our BG, it is sometimes decided it was just the wrong pair of socks. I hope your BG falls soon. Try not to do as I do and rage bolus yourself into a hypo because you get impatient. But maybe change your pen if you are unsure about it. [/QUOTE]
