[QUOTE="FUD, post: 1942260, member: 323022"] I’m relatively fit and undertake endurance activities with no problem, just monitoring and eating fast/slow carbs along the way. However when I cut the grass my sugars always drop considerably, I usually have to pre-empt it and have a brew biscuit halfway through. One doctor said it’s due to the excercise pushing the lawnmower, but I don’t accept that. Another said it was to do with a ‘calming’ affect which drops the levels and sometimes blood pressure. I thought it maybe a reaction to grass pollen. The last time I did it there were literally clouds of pollen, and my sugars dropped. It took about 10x the amount of fast acting carbs I normally need to recover from the BS drop. Anyone else experience this? [/QUOTE]
