[QUOTE="invincible, post: 178033, member: 31630"] Okay, went to my GP and the GP told me the fact that sugars are high after exercise is nothing to be alarmed about in my case - it happens due to anaerobic exercise and since the blood sugars fall within the normal range a couple of hours after finishing exercise, that's fine. No need for me to stack up on sugars before starting exercise - anaerobic exercise leads to temporary rise in blood sugar anyway even in normal people. I was told this is not rebound after a hypo and that I 'will' recognize a hypo because of the trembling/sweating (I personally am not too sure about recognizing a hypo) Regarding my blood-sugar falling to about 3.5 about 6.5 hours after I fall asleep, my medication has been reduced and the effects are being monitored. Have another appointment in a few days and will provide the feedback then. One thing worth mentioning is that the GP told the Hb1AC should be between 6.5 and 7.5 %- it is not the same thing as blood sugar (whose normal range is between 3-6 or 4-7 mmol/l, depending upon who you ask). I was told my Hb1AC is 6.7 and is excellent, had it been below 6, that would have caused concern to my GP (in GP's own words). [/QUOTE]
