[QUOTE="Riesenburg, post: 288361, member: 41402"] I exercise a lot (3-4 times per week at the gym for 1-2hrs at a time). I have found mixed results, one of the key things which plays a role in sugar levels is the hormones. When cortisol is released depending on how you react to it, it can either lower or increase the sugar levels, then when Growth Hormone is produced that will decrease your insulin sensitivity. For us chaps upon testosterone being released it will not only burn our levels faster but will increase insulin sensitivity as well. Best thing to do is to check your sugars on a few occasions and see how you react to things. Then you can adapt, I for instance have a sweet drink during exercise to keep the sugars from dropping too much. [/QUOTE]
