[QUOTE="IWBDF!, post: 419771, member: 47866"] Exercising when ur blood sugars were high was an old way to get them reduced....however, newer research shows that only type 2 diabetics can do this as they do not get ketones, whereas type 1 do and it can be more dangerous to type 1's to exercise or do any normal activities (as they all use up energy) while their BG is high as ketones are usually present and then the poisonous ketones will travel around ur body quicker, therefore making u more sick. It's also worth noting that ketones can occur in ur blood even when BG levels are normal (not sure why this happens), so maybe this is what u are all getting that is making feelings of tiredness/ lack of energy etc. Get ketodiastix on prescription and check ur urine for them, but to overcome this, all u can really do is rest for a few days, continue to take normal insulin or the insulin ratio u are on to keep BG's normal, drink plenty of water and u should be fine after a few days.
