[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1626985, member: 265172"] Was too low to swim this morning (2.7) thanks to [I]yesterday lunchtime[/I]'s full-on weights session and swim. Have been having a look at this thread as I'm staggered at how long the effects of exercise are lasting these days - I've been ramping up my training and it's made a huge difference. I've not been above 6 all day (which without the unpredictability of the exercise factor I would normally take great pleasure in, don't get me wrong), having been sub-3 all night, but to be honest I'm feeling massively 'hypover' (with a hypo hangover) even now and am longing for my sofa......... I need to get more au-fait with identifying the start of the steady drop so many hours after exercise, and setting alarms and temp basal rates for overnight and the next morning. It's just every session's different, and sometimes if I dip low after supper it can be due to a carb counting miscalculation from my mealtime bolus, and I have sometimes misidentified a drop like that as 'oh right, that's the exercise kicking in' and then dealt with the low then and NOT adjusted my nighttime basal because I think I've already dealt with the post-exercise hypo! #seesaw #hardtopredict #feellikeanovice #hypostacking [ATTACH]24557[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
