    Blood Sugar levels High after exercise & remain high until next day!

    Hello all, I've just read about some people who've said that their blood sugar levels go high after exercise, then drop around an hour afterwards. Well with me it's not like that (how I wish it was), I've been going for 15-20 minutes gentle walks after dinner, and 3-4 times a week do exercises...

    Hello all, I'm on Tujeo Solostar and Novorapid, both of which I've been on for about 2 years. What I am going to talk about took a few months to develop: I'm having issues with the insulins I am taking, in that my blood sugar levels are insane, more or less every day. Per month I am having...
