[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1899003, member: 365308"] Hi again! To answer your questions: I check my BG before training. If its 5 or below I remove my pump for aerobic exercise. If it is above 12 I do not correct. If it is above 15 I'd halve the correction dose because I need some insulin to access that excess glucose. For weights/resistance it is tricky because it raises my bgs but it is very counter intuitive to take insulin prior to training so I tend to correct it afterwards. Re hypos, I get hardly any on a pump and low carb just because the overdosing errors are a lot smaller than on a higher carb diet with MDI (pumps also use insulin more efficiently). Anyway its a swig of lucosade by preference (100ml) and unplug the pump (hopefully remember to re-plug it!). Coke is full of sugar but only half of that sugar is actual glucose and the rest is fructose which will not raise your blood sugar hence you'd need to neck more of it to get the same effect. If you are on jabs then you may need more carb after that because the active insulin will likely be on board for 4 hours if the cause of the bypo was an insulin overdoes versus a bout of exercise! Portion size for carbs when trying to lose weight - cupped handful of rice or pasta or potatoes or a bread roll might be a good place to start but don't forget to fill up on protein and fat. Hope that makes sense? [/QUOTE]
