[QUOTE="therower, post: 2111741, member: 47983"] [USER=512452]@diabetic1996[/USER] . Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of very knowledgeable T1’s on the forum and a fair few take part in exercise to varying degrees of intensity and type. No experience of Gaelic football personally, more of a gym user. Have you Googled......runsweet..... it’s a site specially set up and focused on diabetes and exercise. Maybe worth a visit. As for your BS levels. If I do intense exercise that gets the adrenaline pumping then I will see a rise in bs levels very quickly. It then becomes a case of recalling what has happened previously and trying to take steps to stop it in the future. This can mean injecting insulin prior to the event, this can be a case of trial and error to see how much and at what sort of time interval. This is something you’re already doing it appears. I find that making sure I have carbs on board prior to an intense workout helps, Good luck in finding what works for you. Do let and explain what hypos are to your teammates. Diabetes is never black and white. Keep fast acting hypo treatment to hand. [/QUOTE]
