exercise

Hi just wandering if any one can help if i get a bg in target before exercise but have a high reading afterwards, should i use corrective?

How strenuous is your exercise?

You can correct, but if you do, take BG readings at regular intervals afterwards. It is common to have a high reading following exercise, especially for competitive sport or anaerobic exercise, but often the BGs will drop naturally afterwards and hypos are more likely than prolonged high readings.

If I finished above 15, then I'd inject about half of what I'd inject if I hadn't exercised, but below 15 it always seems to sort itself out within an hour.

Feel free to experiment yourself by taking readings an hour apart afterwards and see what your trends are.

Hi Gary sorry for the delay i swim and run get high readings after both

My BGs just go down after an hours swimming. Running...knees are a bit too old for that now...but energetic cycling and my bloods can rocket up - like you.
Would follow Warwick's advice. Strikes me that he is very clued up from lots of experience. But as he said, you will need experiment and find out what works for you personally.
Accurate record keeping is so important though to help you understand what works effectively.

Hi to all
I've just really got back into exercise which is totally down to Dafne and the group of people who where on the course,
Its too soon to add any comments since I've only been running 6 weeks but I've seen a change in the control of my BG,
I'll watch with interest the comments people like yourselves are posting
