[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 2078407"] Are you referring to high Bg when exercising being hard to understand? Basically (and I mean "basic" because that is all I understand) there are two diabetes related things that happen when we exercise - our body dumps glucose from our liver into our muscles to give them energy this causes our Bg to rise - our body becomes more efficient at using insulin this causes our BG to fall As a result some types of exercise will increase BG and some will decrease it. Typically, longer constant exercise will decrease Bg whereas stop/start exercise such as weight training and team sports will increase BG. But stressing our body will also raise BG. Hence my previous example of cycling uphill against the wind on a wet day. Although if I was cycle fit, this would stress my body less. We are all different and the only way of working out how your body is affected by different types of exercise is trying it and measuring. Bear in mind, most exercise for most people will result in lower BG over the next 24 to 48 hours, including exercise that raised your BG immediately. This is due to depleting glucose stores in your liver (the glucose dump I mentioned above). [/QUOTE]
