Hi All

I hope you are well.

I am concerned as whenever I do any activity I will go into Hypo although eating glucose during activity and after.

I can almost eat an additional 120g carb meal straight after exercise and then again at meal time and hypo

Has anyone else experienced this?

Many Thanks

Joe
 
Hi @Joe, what type of sport are you doing ? and have you ever experimented in reducing your basal when exercising ?

Hi

Yes I reduced by Basal by 5 units and did not help the outcome was high BG in the mornings
 
Have you tried reducing your meal time bolus for the meal before you exercise?
 
Hi joe sorry to seem basic but what exercise are you doing and do you use insulin? Background and mealtime? It will make a difference if you are cardio - intense interval steady etc and how much insulin is circulating. Your insulin sensitivity can also peak massively after an interval style work out. Although straight after weights or intervals your blood sugar may be high. Over correction of these highs can cause a drop later on.
