This was a hard workout. I did the four mile loop in about 31 Minutes. It was very hot and humid. My right foot was a little stiff so I couldn't really hit a great stride. It feels better than before though. Interesting though my blood sugar didn't drop much went from a 120 to 113. This was 31 minutes of pretty hard exertion. Go figure.

Here is the article on exercise increasing blood glucose.

Post Workout BS = 99

Good workout - Pilates followed by heavy repetition lifting. 25 Lbs - doing a lot of repetitions (20) did 3 sets. Definitely feel it. Would like to add this to my workout routine at least once a week. Is a really good recovery workout. Generally I do a heavy workout (bike, run or swim) and the next day do a recovery workout. Sometime a recovery is doing nothing at all.

BS = 105 2 HRs after Lunch

Lunch California Pizza Kitchen - Salad, 1 slice of pizza.

Very tired after yesterday's run. Tonight's workout is a recovery workout. Pilates and Lifting. I want to work on some strength training but not bulk up. Low weight - High reps.

AM BS = 109

Seems to have dipped down. Wondering if it is the result of my workout??

Yesterday's dinner:

veggie dogs, salad, orange, diabetic cookies

Rise in glucose after exercise

Found some articles on how blood glucose can rise after an anaerobic workout.

4 Mile Run 28 Min 24 Seconds

Post Blood Sugar = 107. Go Figure??? My pre blood sugar was around 90. I have a theory though.


Sweated lost a lot of water. If blood sugar is some kind of relative measure losing water would decrease my blood volume giving me a higher blood sugar reading??

Good workout though. Focused on stride length. I can feel it in my quads.

28.24 = 7.06 mile awesome!!!

BS = 92 ???

Alas, my workout dreams dashed with a flat tire. I have a bs of 92 right now. Been hanging out in my brother in law's pool. We had pizza, I had one slice and a salad and an orange go figure?? Will work out with a 4 mile time trial. Working on stride and speed today.

Today's workout

I did a swim workout.

Warmup
Technique Drills
Distance Swim for 20 Minutes
Sprints


I think the technique drills have really helped my swimming. I definitely feel faster and stronger in the water.

As far as the diabetes - I definitely feel in control in the morning but more likely to snack in the afternoon and evening. Obviously, on days where I have had a hard workout I do have a greater propensity to snack. Usually I will pick a low carb snack or fruit to eat.
