[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1957662, member: 451727"] Jim, I think you're right. I was told that generally speaking, if I ran at a measured pace (around 160bpm) for 40 minutes or less, my bg probably wouldn't rise but if I either ran faster or for longer, it would rise because my body required more energy to keep up and once it depleted whatever was already knocking around my body, it would then release extra glucose to cope. Now that's not particularly a scientific explanation so I tested it. It was true, you have to find your own thresholds obviously but as you said 'moderate' exercise keeps it from rising mostly. Having said that when I do go mad, it does rise BUT always comes down within an hour and then is massively lower for the rest of the day so I guess it's swings and roundabouts. I, personally don't mind if it goes high for a very short period of time on the days I am pushing it to my limit. [/QUOTE]
