[QUOTE="didn't plan for this, post: 816122, member: 172260"] Hi Karen, I'm not as fit as you, but generally speaking yes I experience exactly the same patterns. I'm on an insulin pump which makes it a fair bit easier, but by no means an exact science. With low intensity exercise (for me yoga or walking for example) i tend to get low BG readings, which tend to last several hours. With high intensity exercise (sport like netball or zumba classes) my BG typically sky rockets which I understand is due to the adrenalin. Then it can dip low 1 hour plus after exercise onwards. Its really hard to predict accurately - as you say, at other times I have gone low with high intensity exercise but the "hypo" symptoms have been masked by the lovely endorphines and adrenalin. Not sure if that helps, but just to let you know I experience the a very similar pattern. Definitely got more manageable since being on pump therapy, but not perfect Good luck with it, Overall, I find the by far the MOST stabilising thing I can do for my BG is exercise, which means we are doing something right anyway!
