[QUOTE="cugila, post: 163150, member: 15325"] Here is a link to a useful site where there is information about the subject. [url=http://medweb.bham.ac.uk/easdec/prevention/insulindoseexercise.htm]http://medweb.bham.ac.uk/easdec/prevent ... ercise.htm[/url] Basically it is about getting the all important balance with Insulin and carbs, type of exercise and the effect it has on you. I exercise and if low to start with would have a light carby snack or drink, test half way through maybe and see what is happening. If too low then you might need to 'fuel' up a bit more, if high then you could up the intensity and see if it drops. Your Insulin dose might need to be adjusted to cover this activity. The problem is that exercise can not only raise BG it can also lower it........so, test before, during and after exercise so that you can see what each individual element is doing to you, which is the best way to lower the levels.
