I have type 2 diabetes but enjoy quite strenuous exercise, (orienteering, cycling, swimming). I am controlled on Insuman 25. I seem to have got the BMs , calorie intake and testing around the exercise about right. No hypos during exercise or afterwards. I feel really good for a few hours after exercise but then I have is profound muscle aching to the point of gnawing restless discomfort, almost with a feeling of weakness all over-very unpleasant. I am used over the years, to having typical sports related muscle soreness in specific muscle groups! This is something else though, very unpleasant ,and lasts a couple of days. Currently putting me off exercising. Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
Electrolyte balance? Dehydration?

Where are you? UK or somewhere warmer?

Are you taking any post exercise protein etc?
