[QUOTE="Bill166, post: 1849944, member: 188693"] Agree totally with DCUKMod - I've had type 1 diabetes for 37 years, and find that this effect depends on how hard you're exercising. Gentle aerobic exercise, you burn up blood glucose and levels go down. More vigorous activity will stress muscles and prompt the liver to deliver glucose into your system. What level of exercise qualifies as stressful will depend on the individual. If you had a matching insulin response this would be useful, but for a diabetic it just raises bg. I've found that I should never eat glucose before cycling up a steep hill - my bg levels are usually higher at the top, then I burn it up to return to normal by continuing with the ride. [/QUOTE]
