    Overnight Low glucose after gym - any tips?

    Were your insulin doses the same before you started working out? Depending on the type of activity my doses tend to go down a bit on both basal and fast acting.

    High intensity interval training.

    The direct effect is a small spike, untreated it does tend to go down again. The longer effects are stable glucose levels for 2-3 days and a decrease of about 10-20 mg/dl overall. You can find loads of articles about HIIT on scholar.google about HIIT and diabetes (both type 1 and type 2) and...

    High intensity interval training.

    When i do HIIT i use a stationary bike. 2 minutes of warm-up and then i start my 15 minutes of HIIT. The cycles are 1 minute on the lowest setting leisure cycling at around 20 watts and then 30 seconds cycling at a high setting between 350-450 watts (the first couple of cycles will be towards...

    Back injury

    You should see a specialist as to what caused it or certain exercises could indeed hurt. As exercises go: Reverse crunches, lie flat on your belly and lift your upper torso from the ground. Either fold your arms so your hands rest behind your head or put them straight in front of you...

    How much protein can we take daily ?

    The amount actually goes up to 2-3 grams/kg of lean body mass for athletes (don't know the number for sedentary people). The reason the lean body mass calculation hit the market is because of athletes and obese people not under or over consuming protein. The rule of thumb of 0.6-0.8 grams per kg...

    Regular moderate exercise log

    First workout worth mentioning today: 5x5x97,5 kg. Did not do any assistance because the last reps of the last two sets did not go well. I wonder if it's the cold (no heating system in the house atm) or that i'm just losing weight too fast. Decided to bulk up a bit and might change the routine...

    The SCREAM thread

    Crunching noise in lower back

    Your spine should move up in a fairly straight line when doing abdominal exercises. The pop is probably harmless but you could still be using a less than perfect form. When you lay flat on your back tilt you pelvis until the gap in the lower back area is completely gone ... that's a completely...

    The SCREAM thread

    The heating system of the house decided to bail out on us. Apparently it's from a company that only sold 1000 units in Belgium and then packed it's bags and left, so it's no longer possible to find spare parts. Conclusion: i need a new gas burner and a pay raise. We've been pumping large sums...

    Regular moderate exercise log

    I'm sure you will be running again. Feet can take a while to heal i've found out about a decade ago now. But they do heal and it's good to see you still have that itch to do sports. I have no bleeping idea what Dutch/Belgian music is about right now though i can't imagine polka, though lot's...

    Regular moderate exercise log

    I need a rest week like i need insulin. My pecs are sore, my forearms are killing me and my shoulders feel like they can't support the weight of my arms anymore. Training with +90% of max intensity for the last 3 weeks has taken it's toll. Next week rest/deloading and then i'm ready to kick ass...

    Low Blood Sugars With Nothing to Treat

    You can also try the somewhat risky approach of trying to release stored glycogen in your body though that would require some form of exercise, preferable anaerobic. Maybe doing a couple of short sprints could help though i'm not sure that would be a sure thing to increase blood glucose. If...

    freestyle libre is it worth getting

    I find it hard to recommend it before i mention the following. In Belgium (where i live obviously) all sensors are payed for in full for type 1's from last year june. I got mine in october after attending a workshop where they explained it in detail, i left the workshop with a sensor on my arm...
