[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1290697, member: 30007"] This is the key point. What I find is that stress reaction inducing exercise needs insulin with it, but by having a protein shake post exercise, the excess protein in that gets converted to glucose anyway and solves the issues of post exercise hypos as a result of the insulin with the weight training. What I do have to be aware of is the overnight hypos though, so find that reduced basals are necessary to avoid them. This can be down to almost zero depending on how glycogen depleting the exercise has been. [/QUOTE]
