[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 675735, member: 138639"] I'm actually at the gym as I type this! When I was first diagnosed I was given a journal article by a Canadian researcher/T1 diabetic himself. In this article he claims that his research shows any exercise where your heart rate and VO2max are elevated above 80% will increase your sugars (so sprints, anything fast paced or really intense) and everything else will decrease your sugar levels. I don't have a pump or CGM to test this theory but my nurse suggested that in work outs at the gym I should do all my heavy lifting and intense stuff first to get my sugars up and then finish with cardio to bring them back down. I'll link to the paper when I get home, I'm on an exercise bike so it's not accessible lol [/QUOTE]
