How does everyone's levels behave after exercise? I really don't know if mine are normal! I've heard that BG levels can drop for up to 24 hours after exercise, but mine don't seem to drop at all??
I've been going to the gym a few times now and it seems that mine can drop quite steeply during exercise, but it doesn't influence my levels at all after exercise! The first time I went I put on a temporary lower basal on my pump and ended up with a horrible 23.1 a few hours after my workout! Stopped doing that immediately, as it seems like I need just as much insulin after exercise as I do without exercise. It was an intense workout as well, did a few bodypump sessions combined with cardio (swimming or cycling).
Does anyone else notice no difference in BG levels and insulin requirements after exercise? :?
