Hi all. I've just started running and I'm finding I get a really sharp rise in my sugars when I stop. I'm only doing 2 miles and my sugars are fine during the jog but the minute I stop my sugars shoot up (from about 6 to 11 in about 5 minutes!).
How can I manage this? Any thoughts. I currently just take a shot of novarapid as soon as I get in the door and my sugars come back down within an hour but I'm worried this spike isn't good. I was wondering if I should eat something and bolus for this before I start but it makes me a bit nervous as I don't want to go low when I'm out.
It's giving me the perfect excuse not to carry on and I have given up a few times previously due to this but I really want to stick with it this time.
Any advice welcome!
