[QUOTE="annamillhouse, post: 268902, member: 27171"] Hi - I have some questions / observations round this too... what you're saying about the aerobic/anaerobic threshold is really interesting, but though I have experienced recent highs after intense exercise, my blood sugar drops very dramatically during the actual duration of the exercise. So far I've been letting my BG run a little high, about 10, before starting, as it will predictably drop by about 5 during the course of the exercise, and I'm not a huge fan of eating or drinking during exercise (i find it makes me feel quite sick). After exercise, where I'd expect BG to fall an hour or so later, it rises - so I'm guessing that the body is trying to restore it's own glucose levels. I would never have dreamed to inject after exercise, but would that be the solution? And will the threshold of the kind of exercise I'm doing change as I get fitter? Any tips would be helpful - I dislike having to let bloods run high to deal with the fall, and then find they climb again afterwards - seems counter-intuitive. Thanks, Anna [/QUOTE]
