[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1883891, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=214632]@James_Donnelly[/USER] It's true that different exercise types affect the BG levels differently, I find that my BG doesn't fluctuate more than 2 mmol/l if doing a steady jog for 30-60 mins, however when I hit the bike and cycle hard I too can easily see my BG levels drop to a hypo, so always keep an eye on it more so when out on the bike, i've had to cycle home on jelly babies a few times now as struggled to get my BG levels up. It helps me to start at around 9-10 of higher and then I stop for a carby snack mid way, also without any quick acting insulin on board too.
