Hi,
I am just wondering if it is safe to take my 3 year old (type 1 diabetic) DD to softplay today - she has been running high on her blood sugars all day and I thought it might bring them down. But I feel like I've read somewhere that she shouldn't exercise with high blood sugar - can anyone tell me please?
Her blood sugar when she woke up was 11 (it's usually "normal"). Before lunch it was 15.something, again it's usually "normal". I made her walk home from school (we usually drive as it's quite a long walk up a steep hill) and gave her a relatively low-carb lunch, but also a treat size milky way before gymnastics, as it's boiling hot in there and they run round for 45 minutes. After gymnastics she was 19.something and now 21.something without anything to eat since!!
She is on Mixtard30 in the morning and Lantus at bedtime, I do have some Novorapid and give 2 units at teatime if her blood sugar is over 12. Any advice please, I wanted to take her at 4pm (as they do a play-and-tea session). The diabetic nurse is not answering her phone.
Thanks, Layla
