I've seen this as well. I remember being told when I was diagnosed that when your blood sugar was high, you should exercise to bring it down. I distinctly remember a captain diabetes cartoon strip in Balance advocating this!It's standard advice on DAFNE not to exercise above 13 because they believe there is an elevated risk of ketoacidosis.
Hi. It could be many things but don't forget rapid insulin can take an hour or two to really work so if the previous meal was still being digested and was high carb when you took the correction shot your BS may have still been going up? Why don't you excercise when your bloods are 13 or above; I do. What's your reason? Also a target of 10 mmol is higher than NICE recommends (8.5mmol). Whilst I quite often go to 10 or above my target is always a lot less.
Hi everyone and Happy New Year!!!
I've started swimming again and was planning on doing a few lengths tonight so I check my bloods and they're at 14.7 now I don't do excersize if I'm 13 or above! So I take 2 units as a correction which should bring me down to around 10/11 as my target is 10mmol. I've waited an hour and drunk water only no food (last meal was at midday) and tested again and what do you know they have risen to 16.5!!!!!!!! So no swimming for me this evening and I'm left feeling frustrated and confused... If ANYONE out there can solve this mystery I will be eternally grateful... Scooby dooby doo!!!
Thanks guysxxx
