While I'm a type 1, I'd be happy to share a few of my observations and experiences since being diagnosed.To avoid hypos, I try to workout as long after taking bolus insulin as possible. I've found that even 2 hrs after taking small amounts of fast acting insulin can cause my to hypo in the gym.Another thing I've experienced is that my blood sugar will slowly drop during my workouts and then nosedive about an hour after I leave the gym. Unless you're on a CGM (like I am) it may be very difficult to catch these.My solution has ultimately been to workout early in the morning. It addresses a number of issues:Dawn phenomenon (I usually wake up with elevated blood sugar)Avoiding hyposOne less reason to have a hypo while I sleepGetting my workout over and done instead of telling myself I'm tired after a full day's work.</blockquote>
