ask your doctor about taking a small correction dose of insulin when
you get that rise in BG or eat something that dose not take that long
to digest and convert to glucose.

what are you actually eating?

Eat some before/after you take the shot. I've found peanuts help me
regulate the highs and lows.

   You can always shoot twice.    I do 1-hour aerobics routines,  3 times a
week and 30 minute routines twice a week.    Since I often do the grocery
shopping after exercise class,   I bring my meter,  candy  and insulin and
take appropriate action.

Hi Steve,  I am not diabetic but have been reading up on the
medications for work.  Maybe you should ask your doctor about the
timing.  My understanding is that Novolog is among the most rapid of
the rapid acting insulins... the doc I was taking notes from said its
designed to "get in and get out" so maybe the timing is too rapid for
you... maybe you need better basal (?) control or perhaps another
brand... maybe one of the "mix" types.  Or maybe it just means starting
a little sooner after eating... like 30 minutes instead of one hour.  I
hope you don't mind me chiming in as I am clearly new... all changes in
medication should clearly go through your doc but timing is something
worth asking about. best of luck to you!

Ah, diabetes, always the delicate balance...and sometimes not so
delicate.  Can't really offer you specific suggestions because I don't
know how you react to certain foods and your specific insulin needs.
But I will tell you that exercise is very important in my health
program.  I work with a trainer a few days a week and exercise,
somewhat strenuously just about every day, targeting different parts of
the body.  I have learned which foods I can and cannot eat, and the
timing of those.  However, like most things with diabetes, there are
some days that defy all of what I've come to know and I may go high or
low from time to time.  Best advice is to test a lot when you exercise
- before, during and after.  Once you've found a balance that works for
you try to eat those same foods, take the same dosages, and do the same
kinds of exercise for about the same length of time.  Routine is
everything.  Write down all your findings and make sure you take them
with you to your doctor or endo on the next visit.  No doubt he or she
will be as impressed that you did that as with the fact that you are
being proactive with your exercise.  Best of luck!

Best,
Kurt
