[QUOTE="lizdeluz, post: 722940, member: 32108"] Swimming sends my blood sugar upwards, almost without fail. If my blood sugar is high and I'm planning to go swimming, I still go swimming but I do more testing and give a correction. However, you're probably right not to go swimming when your blood sugar is high! I just get very irritated when my control goes haywire and I can't pin it down to a logical reason. (Which does happen quite often. I've never explored 'brittle' but I really do wonder, sometimes. ) I love swimming and one diabetes-related thing about it that I like is that it always drops my blood sugar low 2 or 3 hours later and that feels great after the depressing highs. Advice from TeamBG was to swim slower to stop my blood sugar rising, advice that I found strange, but which I tried, and it does work. Why do I want to thrash my way down the pool anyway? :) [/QUOTE]
