[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 892104, member: 30007"] Most T1s see two things happening. Under very intense exercise (weights, HIIT-type work) which puts a lot of stress on your body, glucose levels rise as a result of anaerobic exercise, where all energy comes from glycolysis of glycogen stores. This may or may not occur alongside significantly increased heart rate, e.g. when doing low rep, heavy weights sessions, my BG goes up, but my heart rate doesn't increase to more than 2x resting. When doing higher rep, not so heavy sets, my heart rate goes up 2.5x resting and so does my BG level. Typically this is down to your muscles requiring glucose and your liver releasing it from stored glycogen. Under less intense aerobic exercise (e.g. distance running) where the energy is mostly derived from oxygen intake, generally, people see BG levels fall as your muscles consume what is available, but your body doesn't require the additional glucose that the liver can dump as it is typically not stressed in the same way.
