[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2245897, member: 451727"] Hi there, I think you'll find this is a perfectly normal response in all human beings but of course those without wonky responses to it (ie producing insulin) won't be high for long as their body's will be producing the exact amount of insulin at the exact right time. I exercise a lot and find (after several experiments) that it seems to follow an almost inevitable routine. If I do very hard aerobic exercise, up it shoots immediately, 30 minutes into the exercise it goes back to what it was at the start, more or less. If I do more gentle exercise it hardly does anything, just stays the same. If I exercise for over 40/45 minutes (either type) it rises after about the 30 minute mark but again goes down quickly an hour later. I did pose this question to the Consultants, and was told that it is the adrenilin/cortisone that immediately releases as your body thinks it's under sudden stress so wham, your body releases its stored glucose to keep you going and up goes your levels. If you are more gentle then you can fool the body into thinking nothing alarming is going on. How long does it take for your levels to go down? I don't worry about shooting up during exercise for a short period of time because I know exercise is a good thing and my levels are always lower for a good 24 hours afterwards. x [/QUOTE]
