TV Commercials

In my area, they run a LOT of diabetes related commercials on television.

The one that really gets me is the guy playing basketball - sweating and running around - then measuring his BG -- 104.

Personally, if I played basketball at 104 I would be 50 ab out 10 minutes later.

I realize the idea is to show that diabetics can do everything and still maintain good control - however if someone is newly diabnosed, this might be a bit misleading.

"ok, my BG is 87 - let's go for that 10-mile run."

That would be instant hypo for me.

Can any of you all do massive cardio execercise with a starting BG of 100 and maintain that without a hypo?

If you can you are my Hero.
