[QUOTE="ce81ar, post: 1504685, member: 85835"] Hi Chloe, As someone who battled their diabetes and exercise for years I can sympathise. I used to play Touch Rugby with a group at work during 2 lunchtimes a week. I'd have to adjust my basel dose in the morning and run my BG up to 16 in order to be able to play without hypoing. Then sometimes there would be last minutes drop outs and we wouldn't have enough people to make up the teams. I'd be left feeling rubbish for the rest of the day whilst trying to get my BG down. Despite the exercise over about 8 years my weight just crept up and up. When I did a food diary, about 15-20% of my daily intake was correcting lows from exercise. For the last 4 years I have been on an insulin pump and it has revolutionised how exercise works for me. I finally figured out that I am super sensitive to exercise and that I was never going to be able to achieve good control or weight loss whist on MDI. It might be worth speaking to your DS about what your options are. [/QUOTE]
