[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2392146, member: 527103"] Exercise, including teaching dance is possible on insulin. Henry Slade plays rugby for England with Type 1 diabetes with no choice but to take insulin. He can sit on the bench for half the game and then come on the pitch at short notice for intensive exercise without hypoing. A planned dance class should not cause any problems. To be blunt, you may be causing more problems for dance by running your blood sugars high and not taking insulin. Many of us exercise regularly whilst on insulin without hypos. I strongly recommend following the advice to go on insulin (with LADA you will have no choice) and learn about how to minimise the risk of hypos. To answer the question you posed in the title of your post, if your fasting blood sugar in 8, I would suggest, the time to start insulin is now. [/QUOTE]
