Exercising is only a problem if you are not getting enough insulin. So if your pump is not delivering for some reason, and your blood sugar is high, don't exercise. It could cause lots of ketones to be produced, which is not good. If, on the other hand, the pump is working fine but you ate something that bumped up your blood sugar, exercising is fine.
