If present they will indicate that there is too little circulating insulin and you risk your BS getting higher and possible  DKA. If above 16.mmol you really shouldn't exercise at all . Just concentrate on lowering your leve  If your BS is going up during exercise, it may be because of the type of exercise. Aerobic exercise is more likely to lower it. (we're all different mine plumets in the first 20 minutes and then stabalises). Anaerobic exercise, as Nemo says  can raise levels. see  for explanation<a href="http://www.runsweet.com/StartingSports.html" target="_blank">http://www.runsweet.com/StartingSports.html</a></blockquote>
