[QUOTE="johnpol, post: 1596776, member: 387645"] Hi [USER=437905]@Sawds[/USER] what you are experiencing is perfectly normal, when you exercise the body will release its stores of glycogen and will cause a spike during and just after training, the body hasn't potentially used up all of its stores so you will see a spike. But what tends to happen is that the body still requires a vast amount of energy from its system up to 24hrs after exercise to aid in repair/building muscle, so after exercising any glycogen left in the system ids then used by the body as fuel to repair itself and aid in the recovery of the central nervous system. after I train I eat a small meal consisting of carbs and protein (I will leave the choice up to you) this is usually 30 mins after finishing, this is all the same as a "normal" person does, we are no different just our bodies don't want to work properly any more. If you think you are competitive and will chase anything that moves for your team, then you can "front load" with simple sugars from fruit (pears are my favourite's) this enables the body to have something for fuel during the match, and the spike will be before your match, with hopefully normalish BS's during the match (more energy) then slightly lower after, food after the match will hopefully stave off the hypos afterwards. even after training for all my diabetic life (21yrs) I still get hypos during the night, whilst asleep, after heavy workouts.
