Hi, I have type 1 and take Lantus and Humalog. I started to take Metformin a few months ago in the hope that i'd be able to reduce the amount of insulin i take to help with weight loss.
I've just joined the gym and have noticed on 2 occasions this week a higher blood sugar following the work out than i had before - Tonight before going my bm was 7.1, afterwards it was 11.3. The same happened a could of days ago too. I drink plenty of water and don't take any carbs during or following the gym - surely my bm should be going down not up?
Can anybody help me understand this ?
Diane
