[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 917849, member: 138639"] I would think its a problem with your Basal. Typically when i do intense workouts i lower my basal on my pump by at least 50-60% 1.5 hours in advance of my workout, AND eat about 30-40g of carbs, and still at the end of the 2 hours go home with a reading in the 4s. When i was on injections I would have to eat A LOT about 1 hours before the workout to keep my levels up, and usually i would have to eat some type of glucose during the exercises like Gatorade of energy bars to keep it up. The workouts will affect your BS for a few hours post as well, so you will have to really watch them afterwards. I did find that eating peanut butter pre-workout, about 2 hours before really helped. But ONLY the Kraft PB stuff that was loaded with sugar, that way the added sugar would raise my levels, but the peanuts would slow it to a rate that would basically just bump me up 2mmol/l and keep them there for a couple hours. Other nuts help as well as they tend to have carbs in them, like cashews and walnuts. [/QUOTE]
