I am that childish, you knowI haven't yogaed since becoming T1 so anything I write will be pure guesswork.
But, hey, isn't that all of diabetes! So here's my guess:
It would depend on the type of yoga.
If I was doing something that stresses my body like hot yoga or holding a pose for a long time or trying a head stand for the first time or trying to balance when I am not used to it, I would expect my BG to rise.
Likewise, if I hadn't done yoga before and was nervous about it, I would expect a slight rise.
If my yoga was more relaxed, concentrated on breathing, the poses were not too strenuous, I would not expect my BG to change.
If I was doing a yoga movement/flow like sun salutation, I may expect my BG to lower. For me, this is more likely than for others because I had a tendency to do "fast yoga".
Not being good at going slow is probably why I don't do yoga any more ... that and resisting the temptation to snigger when the instructor started to tell us some spiritual stuff and I glanced at my friend across the room. An example of this was one lesson when the instructor told us hold hands and those of use who felt strong should transfer some of that strength through our hands to those who were weaker.
What was your experience?
Of your BG not sniggering because I think you said your instructor was a friend ... and you are not so childish to do that

Well FINALLY had my CT scan (4weeks after fracturing my shoulder in Motorbike crash) and I can confirm.....Does anybody know if you can leave a libre on while having a CT scan?

You CAN wear a Libre sensor during a CT scan, the radiographer noticed it on my arm, gave it a funny look and then just carried on.
I was also not asked to remove any piercings etc, so guessing a CT scan isn't the one that uses strong magnets like I thought.
Aye, it’s MRI that uses the magnets - makes the red ink in my tattoos tingle “interestingly”, it’s the iron in the colour. I was told by the radiographers last time I had one (we had words about my platinum nose stud that can’t cone out) about the lady who wore her “white gold” shiny new engagement ring into the MRI, only for it to fling her hand towards the walls of the chamber because it was fake gold... her fiancé got quite an earful!Well FINALLY had my CT scan (4weeks after fracturing my shoulder in Motorbike crash) and I can confirm.....

I suspect it was kids looking for reactions. Someone calm in a hi-vis jacket approaching carefully with a police spec torch, prodding it gently after asking if it could hear me and then calmly putting it in a neat pile behind the bus shelter probably isn’t going to go viral on YouTube!Good morning teabags.
Tea and coffee now imbibed and my head’s back on again. A good night, but my brain doesn’t kick in until the caffeine’s there and the slow awakening’s completed (ish).
I was thinking about the ‘body’ you came across, Mel; it’d be interesting to know why it was put there. Horrible if it’s a robbery lure. More understandable if it was kids looking for reactions. Kids are mad, and what kind of stimulus is there near their homes where I imagine the bricks and concrete don’t leave much room for the imagination.
I’m amazed you didn’t get much of an adrenaline spike! Mine rose just reading about it.
Evening all - just heading back from a week skiing in France and now stuck in the ‘fuel tax’ protest on the A1.. been a week of not too massive highs but a few lows and a bad one of 2.7 stuck above a red run, it’s funny how the legs can shake when starved of glucose. T1 has been a bit of a drain this week more than others but only because the cold was slightly bad some days and more draining on the glucose levels than I could of predicted. Still the Dexcom came in handy as I got alerts on my phone so was still able to shake off a few lows before they got too low.
Hope everyone’s had a good week.
