I'm T2 low carb diet and metfromin and occasionally gliclazide if I go too high. My personal experience is also that my levels climb after exercise. I do interval cardio and weights, some days seperately but usually together. I find my levels always go up a few points and stay up for a few hours. My PT who is also diabetic T1 suggested taking a protein shake 20 - 60 mins after workout. This brings the levels down to normal within an hour of taking it. I have no idea how or why it works, just does :? My most recent HbA1c was 5.8% so doing something right.
The shake I use is arbonne essentials? (Don't have packaging right now). Not sure if it's online or not, I buy it locally. Hope this helps.
Question for Mike. Was going to ask my PT but the more opinions the better. Can you tell me or point me somewhere that explains how a T2 on low carb (50 - 130) can do cutting and bulking but still maintain good numbers?. Used to be into martial arts and running but can't do that anymore so decide to build up a bit. May as well look good as I age disgracefully.
Cheers, John
