Hypoglycemia and Spinning

[Catrin]

I agree it's time to return to the nutritionist - I was just wondering what works for others. Yeah, there is a little denial there as well but am working through it...

I use Gu2O in my water bottles. It's not too sugary. Only 5 of its 26 carbs are sugar.

And there is nothing wrong with working with a nutritionist. I work with one because I want to eat as healthy as I can.

I concur that you need to get professional help with this. Blood sugar fluctations are very serious business. Being too high and too low are both very dangerous situations. If your endo is not experienced in using diet/exercise to control diabetes, then perhaps you need to find another endo.

We've told you what works for us, but each of us may not have the same physiology as you. If your blood sugar was still 155 after exercise, that is an indication that your glucose tolerance is more impaired than you think. Has your endo had you do a 6 hour glucose tolerance test (and measured your insulin levels throughout)?

Typically my blood sugar is fine after exercise, or low, this is the first time I've seen it high. The only difference was the cliff blocks - probably just too many carbs. It is probably time to revisit my endo and consider finding another one. I've already made an appointment with my nutritionist.

I've only had a 4 hour glucose tolerance test, and they tested my blood sugar levels twice in the process.

Thanks for everyone's helpful advice!
