[QUOTE="Skinny43, post: 2178527, member: 516352"] When I ran 10K in 52 mins with a PB it definitely temporarily raised my BG. However whenever I kept it within half hour it always reduced BG whether it’s intensive interval run or slow jog. I do 7 mins very intensively - at least I’m out of breath by the end of it. However it hasn’t triggered my body to increase BG. Maybe because I do it after a meal so there’s sugar already. Or perhaps it’s such a short time my body hasn’t had the chance to release sugar yet:) Definitely agree with keeping a balance of two. I’m not a fan of weights to be honest. I can try whether I can develop to be more tolerant of it. However one thing I do seriously wonder is which of the following two approaches is better ( in terms of Insulin sensitivity): 1. Eat less carbs and achieve the target BG. 2. Eat slightly more carbs and exercise and still achieve the same target of BG. Not sure which one could increase insulin sensitivity. I’m sure exercise has other health benefits but just wonder whether it’s better to stick to lower carb for insulin sensitivity thing. Do you have any knowledge/ experience on this? [/QUOTE]
