[QUOTE="Jemzor, post: 822351, member: 156098"] From what I've read and experienced, the highs post training seems to be a common issue amongst T1D. Most of my training falls above my anaerobic threshold (i.e above the 80% VO2 max). One thing that has been suggested to me whilst I am still on MDI's is to finish the training with an [B]aerobic[/B] cooldown for 15 or 20 minutes. This is to allow the muscles to slowly soak up the excess glucose in the bloodstream as a result of the earlier liver glucose release during training. It hasn't stopped my spikes but it has lowered the intensity. I'll be moving to a pump pretty soon though. [/QUOTE]
