[QUOTE="LSwifeofT1D, post: 2123080, member: 513597"] Hey guys! Im hoping as powerlifters you’ll please give me some advice? My husband is type 1 - diagnosed 2 years ago now at 33. He’s still been in the honeymoon phase so he’s been managing really well with degludec (long lasting) and aspart (fast aching). Hb1ac was 51 last time! But we knew it wouldn’t last as nurses kept saying he’s still in honeymoon phase. We recently got a home gym and he’s been doing a good 1-1.5 hours of weightlifting and cycling most days. But his blood sugars go so high afterwards - getting readings of 10 afterwards. Then through out the day he’s been high, then before bed and on waking up he’s still pretty high. Any advice on how you manage blood sugars after exercise like weightlifting? We’ve heard BS behaves differently depending on the exercise - so heavy cardio lowers it but weights can increase it. Or... is he nearing the end of the honeymoon phase? [/QUOTE]
