[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 1034812, member: 74042"] I would have thought HIIT would be self-limiting? I do some very intense endurance weight sessions that last about half an hour to 40 mins, wouldn't really be going much longer than that. One problem with HIIT, is that if you are not well trained you get a very good initial response but that soon plateaus, so HIIT alone is not the answer to improving fitness. I tend to limit those kind of sessions to once a week. Overall, that is what will help improve BG control, better fitness, lower body fat and higher muscle mass, and you're going in the right direction. You don't say much else about your current level of fitness, whether you are overweight, any injuries etc so it's difficult to give more of an answer. Also of relevance is your drug regimen - are you on insulin as that may affect the answer. [/QUOTE]
