[QUOTE="TheSpider, post: 892714, member: 193875"] I have quite a but experience here , I don't know whet insulin regime your on but I always found when doing my routine I'd have high levels , at the daphne clinic I was told that this was due to the insulin that was in my system being burned up or ran out by the time of my session . Think of it as the insulin as a key that opens the door to breaking down of glycogen and sugars released naturally throughout your work out , so it really is about fine tuning and finding the right amount of insulin that will ensure your sugars stay decent in other words not be burned out quick during your exercise or have already ran dry . I was told that after around four hours the insulin will be burned up quick during a strenuous routine . I began eating a few hours before work outs to ensure my insulin was good ! It's not easy and I have trained most of my life and have been diabetic for 25 years , since the age if five . It's changed so much it used to be exercise eat something before no insulin as it induces hypos lol how it's changed good luck ! Might I add my only experience is of high intense work outs such as contact sports . I hope it adds to previous comments [/QUOTE]
