Thanks in advance

@BishyBarnyBee - sorry, just a quick reply to add - lowering carbs can increase the risk of exercise-induced hypoglycaemia.

I haven't got the link to hand as I'm on my phone but if you have a google you should be able to find some info about this.

What?

I assume "OFGS" because 4.5 mmol is a perfectly normal reading. It's in the normal range. If you take exogenous insulin you probably want to start exercise at a higher level than that but if you have a functioning pancreas, your body will work it out by itself
