exercise and blood sugar levels

Well I started going to the gym and I mean within 24 hours I seen a big decrease in blood sugar levels normally I am around 95 now Im in the 70's.

basically I do at least thirty minutes aerobic including swimming. Im just starting out with the gym I hope to eventually go 5 days a week. mainly bicycle machine for 20 minutes then the elliptical machine for only 3 minutes my legs still need a lot of work. Then 4 laps in the pool which is roughly 15 minutes. I am in no rush with exercising because this is part of my lifetime lifestyle change. Basically Ill have some carbs and Protein before I workout then a Protein shake with some carbs for recovery. then almost 1 1/2 hours later I eat protein and veggies. I am still getting this routine down. Are there others just starting out at the gym with any good feedback is very appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds fantastic

Yes, if needed you may want to consider a 10-20g (will have to experiment) carb loading prior or during the workout - Maybe try sipping the G2 Gatorade - small amount of sugars in it. It should stabilize things should you desire to do so.

I am assuming you are a recovering diabetic. If so, consistency of workout and carb levels is what is best for us.

Blood Sugars going too low causes problems. Exercising induces hunger.

Take it slow and easy for your body and your ability to detect what your body needs.
