[Diabetes-talk] Spike.

Wed Mar 7 22:00:09 UTC 2012

Because exercising when high can actually cause more harm. While you
exercise, your body sweats and loses electrolytes. This happens to
anyone exercise which is why its important to drink a lot of water
during exercise. When you experience high sugars, your body is already
at risk of dehydration and losing those electrolytes, which will
actually elevate sugars and potentially cause DKA.

Mike, why would you not exercise if your sugar was at that level?
