[QUOTE="Zanshin, post: 189699, member: 33783"] That`s a really useful reply, thanks for that. Interesting too - I think the article I read about lactate suggested that, whilst training aerobically, if your blood sugar starts to fall (as you`d intuitively expect after a while), a short spell of anaerobic work could potentially be used to prevent hypoglycaemia via lactate production. I`m not entirely convinced, but it sort of sounds right based on some blood sugar readings I`ve had before and after specific training sessions. I guess the hard question is, when my blood sugar is at the high end of normal (eg around 10), what do I do before training? One option would be to take a small insulin dose of say 3 units, and possibly a biscuit or apple or similar. I`ve done this before, but it always feels wrong to take insulin before training, as on the few occasions when it has brought on a hypo, I`ve felt completely stupid! [/QUOTE]
