[QUOTE="kmwa, post: 333366, member: 13388"] I "used to" do really long rowing sessions especially at weekends and always checked my BG before hand. Soemtimes I'd have a large helping of ice cream :shock: about an hour before and other times would have orange juice and morning coffee biscuits to nibble on each half hour or so during breaks. Every day I did this and ended up finishing 4th in the world for most metres rowed in 2003-2004 season. Yeah, did lose a couple of stone but I burned off over a million calories that year, my HRM rolled over after 999999 calories :D 3 hours a day i averaged for the whole year, which included 90 mins or more before and after work, and sat night 3 hour session, jesus I think I was doing more than Steve Redgrave lol. During this time, my basal insulin was down really low compared to what I'm on now and because of regular exercise, seemed to keep low, even if I missed a few days, or even a week or more later when I was doing less rowing. I found a heart rate monitor dead useful to try and keep my pulse down in the fat burning mode. Then it all went wrong, I started putting weight on and had my cortisol levels checked, they were quite high and I did explain I was doing lots of excercise, but the docs didn't seem to listen to that. Anyway, all these years later, I still can't lose weight and the endocrinologist appointment is in december, no point in going although they believe I might have cyclical cushings, nowts happening. My basal insulin intake was at 40 while doing exercise, and is curently at 120, it's been like this for ages, it went up suddenly and has never really dropped, even on this low carb, I've managed to drop it to 55BD, but that's it. That's my story as far as exercising and insulin goes, but I guess not everyone will be overdoing it like I did. Kev [/QUOTE]
