In doing some research on something else (the way I find
most things) I came across this interesting old (March '06)
report on exercise and hypos in type 1's. It may also have
some relevance to those discussing type 2 liver dumps at the
moment:
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,18399653-421,00.html
'A 10-SECOND sprint after exercise reduces the risk of low
blood sugar in young people with insulin-dependent (type 1)
diabetes, according to an Australian study.
The study "provides the first evidence that a short maximal
sprint effort performed immediately after moderate-intensity
exercise is preferable to only resting as a means to counter
a further fall in glycemia after exercise, thus decreasing
the risk of early postexercise hypoglycemia in individuals
with type 1 diabetes", the West Australian researchers said.
"On this basis," they wrote in the journal Diabetes Care,
"one might tentatively recommend that after exercise of
moderate intensity, young individuals with complication-free
type 1 diabetes consider performing a short 10-second sprint
to counter a further fall in their blood glucose
level...particularly if a source of dietary carbohydrate is
not readily available."'
I found the full article here; I haven't had time to digest
it yet, so over to those interested:

Hmmm. Maybe this explains why my bg is so often higher after a race, when I
do a finishing kick, than after a training run, when I usually don't. I'm
not talking difference between "hypo" & "normal" but "normal" & "high as
after too many carbs even for me".
