Hey guys. Was looking for an answer on an issue with diabetes and weight training and came across this forum.
I'm 19 years old and I've had diabetes for 9 years. I'm not new to diabetes and I'm pretty much well trained on how to handle it, but exercising is a new field for me.
I'm on a fat loss program, I eat healthy and exercise almost daily by weight lifting. However something I noticed and that has been bugging me. Whenever I return home from the gym and test my sugar level, it's always sky high. This is very annoying and disappointing to me since I cannot lose weight if my sugar levels are high. I make sure I test my sugar level and inject the right amount of insulin before the gym.. yet when I return home my sugar is usually very high.
Is this normal? Note that in the process of the next 2-3 hours my sugar drops lower on its own without much insulin.. usually much less insulin is required than what I usually inject.
