[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2136116, member: 256617"] Diet is for health and exercise is for fitness (and a boost to health). Exercise will raise your blood sugars in general. If this bothers you then you can do lower intensity workouts that stay in the fat burning zone. Personally I don't care about the rise as after a while most find that blood sugars go to at least where they were to start with. I can't prove this next statement, but my research suggests that higher intensity lends itself in some to either higher fbg and or HbA1c's (but not in the diabetic zone, but not as good as diet and mild exercise). I follow sports persons who don't have diabetes, and it is not unusual for them to run higher numbers, usually with really low fasting insulin. I note that those on this site who have the lowest HbA1c's tend to lean more towards diet and not as intense exercise. [/QUOTE]
