[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2453641, member: 451727"] My thought has always been that exercise, if it can be managed and is desired of course, is a good thing. It may cause short term spikes but I do feel that those spikes are very different to those caused by an overload of carbs and generally speaking, they do come down after a few hours. The long term effects are good for overall health and I exercise for all sorts of reasons, not just to manage or improve my diabetes. Bone health, heart health, mental health, strength, lung health, circulation and on and on, if improved by exercise must surely have a natural benefit when you have body that is 'flawed' in a way that can affect all those things and more. I know that it doesn't always have benefits dependent on individuals personal circumstances but I would say never be put off by rises in response to it, it's showing that your body is working hard! If you do it for long enough you will notice that as your body gets used to it, it stops responding in a panic. Then of course it becomes so easy to run 5 miles that you always start thinking you should shake it up a bit to get any further benefits! [/QUOTE]
