Thank you Jim Lahey. I hadn't understood how more intense exercises can bring on high blood sugars.
As someone said, everybody's different. I am a T1 of almost 30 years and do intense training 4-5 times a week. I have never had my bg going up. Moreover, it falls sharply, sometimes to such an extent that I need to refuel ( Lucozade sport does the trick!).
