[QUOTE="Patch13, post: 557194, member: 58178"] Hi, On Friday night I went for a curry (I'm low carb/high fat so I went for vegetables instead of rice). This was quite late and I was quite stuffed (I was a bit of a glutton!!:)). So I got up on Saturday morning and wanted to go to the gym. Usually before going I would eat linseed crackers with cheese and take my insulin, however I still felt full and unable to eat. My BS were fine (5 something) so I decided to try going to the gym without eating (no food = no bolus). I did what I usually do in terms of adjusting my pump when I exercise (turning my basal rate down to 90%). The gym session was fine and my BS were relatively stable (between 5-7, with no intake of glucose). I did make sure I didn't run though and just did lots of up hill walking on the tread mill along with lifting weights, as I was a bit concerned if I did hypo i would be less likely to feel it if I was running vigourously. However, this got me thinking. Are there any type 1s that exercise without eating first? and how do you manage your BS if you do this / what impact does not eating have on your exercise regime? As I said I wouldn't usually exercise without eating, but I wanted to know what others experiences of doing this have been. Many thanks Patch13 [/QUOTE]
