hi,

I normally need an extra 20-40 grams of carbs for an hours exercise depending on how hard i workout. normally use Glucogel or a an energy drink to keep my numbers up.
Also its nessacary to replace the stored carbs the body uses during exercise otherwise lows can happen hours afterwards.

also dont exercise if bg is high. this can cause alot of damage to the body.

Its just a case of learning how you react to exercise and what you need to do to keep within designated parameters..
