I'm on metformin only and the fitness level I'm at now, weightraining for 40 minutes with heavy weights (usually 5 sets or 5 reps each, squats, presses, deadlifts and rows, will raise my BG by about 3mmol so I now always follow up with 20-30 mins of medium cardio which brings it back down again. On days where I'm not doing resistance training I do an hour of HIT cardio, the last 10 minutes at a slow pace which gives me a prolonged reduction in BG levels. When i have tested during HIT its similar to the weight training in that I will go high initially, but then as the session progresses past the 45minute mark there is a sharp fall.
It is clear to me from what others say that it can depend on the individual though and it used to affect me differently when I first started, much less likely to raise BG's during the session.
