T2 and exercise and diet help

mrtastybutt

Have searched but not found an adequate answer for my question. Sorry.

For the third time this week my blood glucose has dropped during exercise. Sunday it was during bodypump, I only got about 1/2 way through. I have hypoglycemic unawareness, so I didn't notice until everything starting sounding like the adults from Peanuts. I almost passed out.

I'm T2 with tight control on my BG. I've lost about 35 lbs over the past 3.5 months. My most recent HbA1c was last week, it was 5.4 and my meds have been lowered. My morning BG #'s run between 70-105.

Here's my workout schedule:

MON: Barre class 60 min + body pump 60 min
TUES: Tabata 60 min
WED: Body Pump 60 min
FRI: Body Pump 60 min
SUN: Body Pump 60 min

My question is what can I do to make sure that I can make it through a class? Any advice would be great. Thanks.

When I say my BG drops, I mean it drops in the 40-50 range. Anything above that I can work with.

Ask your doctor.

checking your glucose before and after exercise is a good start. but talk to your dr. Im wondering if there are any diabetes groups on the forums? you can check and see if there are and maybe talk to others who have these issues. make a call to his/her office(dr) and let them know the issues. I heard this is a common problem for a lot of people who have T2.good luck getting things back to normal
