Just thought I'd share the following tidbit I read in a Type 1 newsletter I get (sorry, don't have more info on the research source)...
The Effects of Performing Resistance Exercise Before Vs After Aerobic Exercise on Glycemia in Type 1 Diabetes
Twelve physically active individuals with type 1 diabetes took part in a research study to determine the effects of exercise order on their blood sugar responses. Individuals performed 45 min of running at 60% VO2 peak before 45 min of resistance training (3 sets of 8 reps, 7 different exercises) or performed the resistance exercises before the 45 min of aerobic running. Plasma glucose was measured during exercise and for 60min after exercise. Interstitial glucose was measured by continuous glucose monitoring 24 hours before, during and 24 hours after exercise.
Results showed that although the exercise order did not impact the frequency of post-exercise lows, performing resistance exercise before aerobic exercise improved glycemic stability throughout the exercise period and reduced the duration and severity of post-exercise hypoglycaemia in the individuals studied.
