I can't remember having seen such a persistent pattern of lows in a very long time, so hopefully I will not have to go through this again in a week :-) I had a reading of 8.9 (160) before bed, so I added a little insulin. The rebound from all the lows and the huge amount of carbs may have come during the night anyway, because I was 10.8 (194) this morning. Now it seems like the level is evening out, though.<BR/><BR/>Chrissie - well, I didn't really think of it as frightening to be that low before my bike ride - at least not considering that I caught it before starting the ride. Most of all I felt so annoyed by the fact that the D had taken command, preventing me from doing what I wanted to, i.e. to go home. And you are right, exercise is definitely a major factor in the picture of yesterday. Actually the timing of the first low fits nicely with my general experience about the delayed effect of exercise (approximately 8 h post exercise insulin sensitivity will increase, sometimes dramatically). Still, I have no idea as to why the effect apparently was so significant yesterday. My bike ride to work was nothing out of the ordinary, so I wouldn't expect the effect of it to be so dramatic.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928203708923370018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761706.post-19670488364704168492007-02-27T13:05:00.000+01:002007-02-27T13:05:00.000+01:00It must have been really frightening to be that lo...It must have been really frightening to be that low BEFORE your bike ride home! The day seems to be screaming one thing - exercise, both lacking it AND gettting it, can totally destroy diabetic control. Exercise both helps us and destroys us.....Chrissie in Belgiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556806942193998413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761706.post-63702043065848006482007-02-26T22:38:00.000+01:002007-02-26T22:38:00.000+01:00What a yucky and persistent string of lows there!!...What a yucky and persistent string of lows there!!!
