[QUOTE="johnpol, post: 2127677, member: 387645"] I suspect that its a combination of the beginning of the end of the honeymoon phase, and the amount of cardio he's doing. I suggest test, test and test again. he could have a small meal (protein, fats and a small amount of carbs) prior to the session with some insulin to cover this, train then check afterwards to see if he has his rise in BS's (I suspect he will but not as big) then settle down. for the next few weeks it will be trial and error for him, my readings go off the scale after a particularly heavy session (usually deadlifts) and I have to give corrective doses, but then crash through the night and I go low. its about striking a balance to ensure that he doesn't go too high (if needed corrective dose, but conservatively) and then testing after his post training meal, insulin to see what its doing. Write everything down too, session length, weights/exercises done any cardio then do the some for his food intake and numbers on the meter before/during/after training this will highlight patterns and what his corrective measures are and will highlight if he's entering into the end of honeymooning. But keep it up as he will formulate his own plan on how to ensure he gets his readings down after intense training. Good luck and let me know how he is progressing and apologies for the lateness of my reply. [/QUOTE]
