Howdy folks,
Just wanted some advice re blood sugars and exercise.
I was under the impression we had to watch our sugar levels when we exercised as they have a habit in going up because the liver pumps more into our blood because we can’t produce it to well from the food.?
Now exercise I am limited as I can only do swimming as I broke my back parachuting when I was in the army so I have mobility issues. Now I’m a big lad, 142.6kg on diagnosis with subs at 52 then 72 in August. Now lost 12kg since August as do two to three sessions in the pool doing 800mtrs a session.
Now this is where I’m having issues come exercise, I have something to eat before I go swimming (around an hour) and for instance today sugars were 9.2, 32 lengths later I check and my sugars have bombed to 3.2mmol/L what am I doing wrong? I thought sugars would end up going up with exercise?
Cheers in advance
