[QUOTE="Patch13, post: 891589, member: 58178"] I used to find that the type of exercise effected my sugar levels in different ways - running, cardio type stuff tended to lower my blood sugar, but weight training can make it go up. Pre-low carb I used to take a bottle of lucozade with me to the gym and sip on this throughout a session (when doing cardio type stuff). I didn't always drink the whole bottle - this would depend on how hard I had worked, etc. However, the best advice I can offer is to test a lot. I would test before beginning exercise and part way through and also at the end. And obviously test if you feel like your sugar might be high / low. Might be worth looking on the 'Runsweet' website (google it). [/QUOTE]
