[QUOTE="jopar, post: 152202, member: 11712"] Different types of exercise will have a different impact on our blood sugar levels, either at the time of the exercise or for many hours later... Along side this where you inject your insulin can have an effect.. google a website called runsweet, you will get plenty of idea's and advice as it deal specifically for exercise and diabetes, the man behind it all, is the man who guided Sir Steve Redgrave, and handles many perfessional diabetic sport's men/women... As to your run, thigh muscles require a lot of energy indeed, and I would look at several factors, Do you inject your background insulin into your thighs? Running/cycling can cause insulin to adsorb much quicker than usual.. Also you may find it better to start with a lower BG, but top-up more with Fast acting Carbs more as you go, to maintain stablity.. 11mmol/ml is very close to the point it's unwise to do heavy/intense exercise as above 12mmol/l the body finds if more difficult to utilize the insulin and can casue DKA to start setting in.. Also I would look at what type of carbs you are eating the meal/snak before to see if eating a slower carb i.e pasta, banana etc might give a longer and better stable control avoiding the need of high level before exercise... But if you pretty active a insulin pump might be more useful to you as this give's you a lot more flexibility to find tune for exercise and different types of, very much worth a thought and a discussion with your health care team [/QUOTE]
