[QUOTE="cbd5, post: 346324, member: 57674"] Hello, Not sure if this is the right place to ask as I am new here, sorry! Ok, I have been diabetic since I was 9 and I am now 19. I used to be slightly active and trailed off, gaining around 14lb after going on to the pump. My HAB1C level is now too high after a horrific diet at uni. I have completely turned my diet around, now eating healthily and not touching anything that is non advisable for diabetics! Well, I decided to get active as well. I have an exercise bike and I'm taking up kick boxing. I have found exercise at a moderate pace really helps my blood sugars for the next day or two, staying between 5 and 6 mmol/L. However, I have now started High intensity training on the exercise bike. I do 8-10 repetitions of 30 seconds all out pedaling with a recovery slower pedaling of a minute. I have found since starting this that my blood sugars really spike! I have never reacted to exercise like this before and I have no idea why :( I don't want to stop the HIIT as I feel amazing afterwards. I'm really starting to feel my legs tone and my fitness improve. One more thing, does the fact that I sometimes do the cycling before breakfast make a difference? In my head, if I do the exercise before I eat, I'm more likely to burn fat :) Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
