[QUOTE="fletchweb, post: 1603279, member: 318202"] Based on my own personal experience it depends on what's going on in the background - for me endurance activities. be it hiking, cycling, swimming, rock climbing or even a long brisk walks - my BGs always drop but if I was doing the same thing but within the context of a competition or if something happened unexpectedly - like a coyote jumps in front of me, or dog decides to chase after me (stuff like that) my BGs would always go up as a reaction to the Adrenalin rush that I had just experienced from the given situation. I don't know how common this is with other people living with diabetes but it consistently happens to me. I remember once years ago I was on a canoe trip and we decided to shoot some rapids, my BGs had been running in the low 4s all day because of the endurance paddling (we would try to do 45 KMs a day). Anyway, we should not have tried going down the rapids because we almost didn't make it and interestingly that shot of fear driven Adrenalin had raised my BGs by 10 points in a matter of seconds. Quite amazing how that can happen! [/QUOTE]
