I was diagnosed a year ago with type 2. For three months, I successfully controlled my diabetes with diet and exercise. Exercising would bring my sugars down - about 20-30 points.
Lately though the opposite happens- my sugars spike anywhere from 20-60 points after exercise. I exercise 3-5 times a week 30-60 minutes each day. I don't understand why exercise used to help and now it doesn't.
I mostly weight lift throughout the week with a little HIIT cardio thrown in and once a week I go to a Zumba class. I've danced most of my life and took up Zumba before I was diagnosed.
I'm about 5'6" and 150 lbs so I'm not overweight. I've always heard diabetics need to be careful with exercise because of the risk of low blood sugars but I have the opposite problem.
I want my workouts to be productive and I think a little intensity should be ok I think but this is absolutely frustrating...what should I do?
