[QUOTE="therower, post: 1521377, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=187737]@MarcTurner83[/USER] . First off I would strongly suggest that you never let diabetes stop you from doing anything. Respect its power but never fear it. It thrives on negativity and seeds of doubt. 27 yrs T1 and a constant workout " nutter " . Never boxed but have done HIIT, weight training, endurance training lots of rowing and anything else that's took my fancy. Ultimately you will have to test , record and make rational decisions as to what different exercise regimes have an affect on you. Brief examples. Heavy weights ( sets of 5/6 ) sugars rise and continue to rise for around an hour or so, level off and then drop considerably upto 6 hrs later. I know this and adjust accordingly. Cardio workout/ HIIT. Sugars start to drop as soon as I stop workout, also have to make sure sugars are slightly high before commencement of workout. 27 yrs experience is useful, unfortunately my friend you will have to see how your body reacts. Keep a form of drinkable glucose on hand, maybe tell gym staff of your condition and how to help you and have some sort of medical information on yourself. ( dog tag necklace and tattoo for me ) [/QUOTE]
