my question concerns exercise and hyperglycemia--

no matter how low my bs is it will rise by at least
100 pts. I've taken to giving myself 1-2 units before
i exercise (45 min. walks{very fast}, 250 sit-ups and
2 sets of 30 push-ups). can anyone give me an
answer and/or a solution?

Our glucose levels go up because of the adreneline hormone kicking in and telling our livers(which may not be working like it should) to pump out more glucose to keep up with the demand we are placing on our bodies. I have reduced my exercise from intense to moderate and I will eat a complex carb with a protein about 1/2 hr before exercising to help reduce the numbers from going up too high and sometimes they are the same as before exercising.

Hope this helps some.

I try eating an 1/2 apple/peanut butter, whole grain crackers/cheese, or a protein shake/fruit blended together. I also will use extend bars to help keep my glucose levels even.
