Hey there.
New to this thread and hope all you wise heads may have the answers!
Was diagnosed T1 Sep last year. Started going to gym in January this year. Initially experienced lots of hypos while exercising and just after. Have now cracked this, worked out how many carbs and when to eat before gym and this is really helping to steady glucose levels through the day.
Whoop!
I've also started to increase the intensity of what I do at the gym - mix of cardio and strength. All feels exciting and stronger.
However, I do seem to be more susceptible to low glucose and hypos at night.
My assumption is because this is when the body decides to catch up with itself.
Basically any top tips on how to handle this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
