  • Does Exercise Raise Your Bg?

    Taking a poll here. My BG raises when I do more than 40 minutes of cardio, this has been the norm for me for a long time so I know if I want to do cardio for more than 40 minutes I will have to bolus about 20 minutes after I am finished to cover the BG increase. I have researched this and some have this problem.

    Does anyone here have this problem? Just asking because I have been told that is impossible to have a BG raise after exercise which I find extremely funny.

    Thanks!

  • C-peptide Test Question

    I have a doc appt on Monday. I am going to make him do a C-Peptide test since he never has! UGH! My question is this, (I have a call into my doc for instructions, but don’t think he will call back), so do I need to stop taking my metformin and insulin before this test is done, and if so, for how long?

    I appreciate all your input. Thanks:)
