Blood Sugar and Exercise.

[simply_h]

Hello All,

Hope we are well.

Got I question(s) on Exercise.

I have noticed that after a resistance workout, e.g., 30mins exercising the full back muscles and full legs, my blood sugar after exercise is always between 6.5 and 7.4mmol, then I take a protein shake with 200ml of milk, then 1 hour later is down to 4.5 to 5.2mmol.

As if I do the above, but then end exercise session with say 10 mins of cardio, I end in the 5.x mmol range after exercise, then an 1 hour later it’s around 4.5 to 5.2mmol

Are type 2 meant to work like this???? How do non-diabetics work after exercise??? OR am I looking at this too deeply???

Any ideas.

Cheers

This very useful link was given to me when I had a question on my BG rising after exercise. It is really helpful and xplains what happens in different scenarios. In my case I have to have a carby snack before the gym to get my BG to fall rather than rise. Nothing very much, just a couple of oatcakes.

Have a read at it anyway. It is very interesting.
