[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2446168, member: 521079"] I have found exercise can help “burn off” some of the blood sugar rise that occurs from higher carbs. However I have also found that they then do increase afterwards, so whilst there is an improvement it is transitory I’ve had some polite disagreements with my personal trainer who wants me to eat more carbs but I have explained that whilst it gives some extra energy, and in my experience it isn’t hugely significant, the impact on my bloods isn’t acceptable I’m not a power lifter, potentially there is a difference there but I’d be wary of relying on the 2 hour window for large carb and exercise. CGM has changed how we can view what it does, but for many of us we can’t afford that level of checks I believe very much that this is all a very personal impact. Some people may well find carb loading and exercise works, others it only delays things, others it doesn’t work at all… [/QUOTE]
