[QUOTE="James_Donnelly, post: 1879133, member: 214632"] It's absolutely doing my head in this. I started about a month ago doing 30-40 minutes on my indoor stationary bike. I decided I wanted to get fitter. Every time I do it, it absolutely burns through my BG like hell. The amount of times when I finish I am hypo'ing or on the verge in killing my ability to exercise. The most obvious occasion was when I decided to eat before it, not take any insulin, managed to push my BG level to 12.5, hopped on the bike, 30 minutes later I had fallen to 4.2 and verging on hypo'ing. I just went to exercise just now, I was 5.7, nowhere near high enough for me to do it. Grabbed a slice of toast, measured 10 minutes later, I had DROPPED to 4.0. Now needed another slice of **** toast just to avoid a hypo, and now 30 minutes later I'm back where I started at 5.7 which nowhere close to being high enough for me to exercise with. [/QUOTE]
