That totally depends on how you work out and what you do before hand. I prefer to eat something small with about 30 carbs and also run my BG around 150-180 before working out. If I'm doing anything aerobic then I may eat more or run slightly higher as I know I'll drop around 100 mg/dl from the 30 minutes of aerobic alone. Since I'm on a pump I will even drop my basal insulin by 50% starting 1 hour prior to working out and lasting 2 hours.

It's all a balance system. You have to balance insulin, with food, with the exercise. Exercise and insulin will take you down, food will take you up. Their interaction times all vary as well and you have to experiment for what works best for you.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
