[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1288525, member: 295621"] Most of us find that exercise lowers our BG. Although short intensive exercise can make it rise - long duration activities and weights tend to make BG drop. You should have some carbs at hand when training. I find (when I'm out on long cycles) that 'High 5 Energy Source (dissolvable powder drink) keeps my BG up when on the bike. I know how much my BG drops per hour hour and drink enough to keep it level. If you're finding that you're BG is fine when lifting weights but you're getting delayed hypos in the hours following. You may want to have a low GI carb snack afterwards to make up for your BG heading downwards. [/QUOTE]
