[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 722176, member: 21149"] Hi again. Sorry to hear that your suagr control is difficult. I guess I'm lucky as my BS is quite predictable but we are all different. I'd like to know the real science behind the 'do not exercise above 12-14 mmol' or is it just another NHS pseudo-science thing? I'm afraid I've become very cyncial of some of these tablets of stone handed down by HCPs. If there is a risk of DKA and de-hydration then surely people need to have plenty to drink whilst exercising and most in my local gym do. Yes, blood sugar can spike up and down a bit during or after exercise but the overall trend is surely downwards. Could someone correct me if I'm wrong but DKA tends to happen with very high BS e.g. into the 20s and above together with ketone production. If you have had some carbs and the sugars stay below 20'ish I would have thought any risk is extremely low, but I speak as an amateur. [/QUOTE]
