I get lows when I work out strenuously too. Zumba always drops me down to 3ish, but I love it so I persevere. I find that bringing an apple juice box to Zumba helps. I sip on it throughout the class.
Fruit juice definitely works faster than fruit. Good luck!
Now I understand, you would not want to be too low on Glicazide.I'm on metformin & glicazide
Now I understand, you would not want to be too low on Glicazide.
I am almost always 3.5 to 4.5 after exercise. But on no medication my liver will not let me get too low.
It is not something I totally understand so please forgive my ignorance - but you are a type 2 getting hypos due to the medication you are on preventing your liver restoring normal levels of glucose after exercise.
Perhaps you should discus this with your doctor, to see if it is something which ought to be dealt with by adjusting the medication level or the timing of it rather than fending it off with sugary drinks.
Ok thank you I wasn't sure what levels should be after exercise. But I was told 4 or under there is a risk of hypos.
That sounds fine and many on blood glucose lowing medication would not drive below 5, I believe. It might be worth checking this with a med professional now your levels are falling.
It sounds like your gym routine is really working for you.
