[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 265103, member: 31362"] Don't think that's the case Swimmer. If you start with a high reading, your exercise will knock a lot off because there is a lot of sugar in your blood to BE knocked off. If it was lower, your reduction wouldn't be so much. I don't think you're on insulin or meds that stimulate insulin production? (metformin doesn't). So if your BG gets too low with exercise, your liver will release glycogen to bring your BG back up again. That's why diabetics on diet only /metformin can get low blood sugar the same as anyone else (like non-diabetics) but don't tend to get dangeropus hypos unless we have some other impairment. I got a 3.2 after snorkeling, but it soon came back to normal. [/QUOTE]
