[QUOTE="ert, post: 2065722, member: 504712"] I find cardio exercise and lighter weights spike my blood sugars, especially while fasting. I find exercising two to four hours after eating optional for dropping my blood sugars rather than elevating them. I start with cardio and finish with heavy weights. For example, today 20 minutes on the stepper my blood sugars went down 1 mmol/l then, bench press and leg press 3 x 8 heavyweights to exhaustion 3 with minute rest I decreased 2.5 mmol/l of blood sugar. (If I try this before my meal or too soon afterwards, it doesn't have the same effect.) I change the weight type daily so that I cover a full body programme. It's the anaerobic nature of the heavyweights which decreases blood sugars. There are research studies I can post if you're interested. [/QUOTE]
