[QUOTE="therower, post: 2245835, member: 47983"] Good evening [USER=522168]@T1_Molli[/USER] . It’s so annoying when we go that extra mile only to find our BS levels don’t do what we want. I can fully sympathise with your problems. Depending on what exercise I undertake then my BS levels can do some very strange things. As for high intensity exercise. Well it’s something that does have the potential to cause significant BS rise after we actually stop exercising, in some instances that could be upto 6 hrs after exercise for me personally. It’s not so much a problem these days purely because I’ve changed how I train these days. When this was a problem for me I did try different approaches to minimise the post workout rise. 1. Inject bolus immediately after exercise to combat the rise. Always a bit risky, you never know how high you’ll rise and for how long. Bolus can be active for 6 hrs and obviously in some instances this could be too long, especially if you train later and plan going bed. 2. Consume some very slow acting carbs prior to workout. A favourite of mine was malt loaf or peanut butter. By the time 5he carbs started to kick in I had finished my workout. Because my body had carbs available my liver was less prone to give a liver dump. I would still get a rise but nothing as bad as before. 3. Adjust your mind set to the problem. Accept that this rise is a good rise and the fact that you’ve just done an extreme workout which is unbelievably beneficial to your mind and body far out weights the temporary rise BS levels. This is an option that I was always ready to accept. Not sure if this helps. Do not stop exercising though. This is the most important thing to remember. Thanks for the tag [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER] . [/QUOTE]
