With me having recently restarted running again I was expecting to have to watch my insulin doseage very closely inorder to avoid getting any hypos and so then expected to be possibly needing to reduce how much I'm taking. However, it actually seems that I'm needing to take more insulin now inorder to try and keep my BG levels down than I was taking when I was not doing any exersise other than walking up the stairs in work. I thought that exersising was supposed to make your bodies use of insulin more efficient than before but mine is either getting worse at using it, or it could be becasue the amount that I would have been taking previously was only very small anyway so there is not then enough left for converting the sugar to the extra energy that I now need. I'm going to get some numbers from a few more days and if I see more of the same daft results I'll be off to try and confuse the specialist nurse at the hospital again, but has anyone else noticed strange goings on with their BG numbers due to the running?

I have been slightly increasing how reguarly I pig out and have a bigger meal at lunch. But no more than I might have done on occasion when particuarly hungry before, but I'm now getting very different readings after those meals than I would have done previously. I would have previously been taking only about 45 ish units a day which would keep me pretty well controlled, but now seem to be more around 55 units and that does not seem to be quite enough yet. There defiantely needs to be a few more changes to what I'm taking now and it took a few changes when they switched me onto a new slow acting a couple of years ago which ended up with a couple of my fast acting doseages being reduced by huge amounts to get things right, down to the point where I was taking a barely noticable 2 units at a couple of points during the day. The pen can only just manage to measure that much. I guess I must just be a freak of nature then with having to increase the insulin.
