Scenario: You take your insulin shot/ bolus and eat a huge meal of fried carbohydrates. An hour later, your sugar is 250. You have only 30 min to bring it down to normal but only with exercise and no extra insulin. What type of exercise would you do?
maybe a brisk walk? I remember taking a walk before and my bg coming down pretty quick. When I did my dance workout video, i never saw that quick of a drop. Not sure why
I will use the eclipse machine and choose the hill climbing. I did it and it worked 
Some sort of moderate intensity cardio (not intense enough to push me into an anaerobic state but close to that), and probably something that utilizes a lot of large muscles- elliptical machine or an exercise bike.
Or just running hard for 30 minutes on the street would do it I bet.
Stomach crunches and leg lifts…does it for me!
swim or run, but Dino, something about the scenario bothers me - a lot.
1 hour after fat fried carbos I am low as I can go and crying for glucose. My insulin is working before the carbs absorb. anything fried, or grilled meat with cheese on it will do this to me.
250 with a boatload of IOB, add exercise and you could wake up in an ambulance. hope this was only theoretical.
It was just theoretical, but everyone is different when it comes to metabolism. Personally, just the aroma of fatty fried carbs (ie. donuts, pizza, french fries) instantly gets my glucose up and keeps it there for a while. OK I’m exaggerating, but you catch my drift.
4.0mph walk on treadmill with an incline.
Same thing happens to me…inject and down too low before carb and fat raise me…I usually wait awhile to inject now…
I would go for a short 3 mile run!!!
What about snails? 
does eating more food count as a exercise? God should never had made me diabetic, i’m awful! LOL
okay what if you exercised and you got to low, then can you have dessert?
You could have a burger !
as dessert!!! I would pick a diary queen blizzard while walking or running. Better yet make the place unreachable for me to run to, like the carrot at the end of a stick for the horse
cardio cardio and more cardio!
The challenge in this situation is the amount of in your blood. The exercise will have not impact unless there is enough insulin. The insulin receptors will only work with insulin. So, even if the receptors are more active as the result of exercise, if there is not enough insulin to cover the glucose in the blood, the bg may not go down. A radical approach for lowering the bg is IV insulin, which is dangerous at best. Another approach is to use a more rapid acting insulin. However, you still need to adjust the dosage to not over dose when the original bolus kick in. The best think in my opinion is to be patient and add another bolus to cover the high bg and take into account the original bolus and the extra time it takes to breakdown the fried foods.
Good luck. Plan ahead and be patient.
Walking & more walking. When I do strenuous exercise, I go even higher.
Stephen,
The question posed is what exercise & no extra insulin:)
Try a Tabata routine. You’ll need a timer set for 10 seconds, repeating. (Or count in your head.)
For each exercise, go as hard and as fast as you can for 20 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds for a total of 16 minutes.
Do 8 rounds of squats, then situps, then pushups, then pullups (or dips).
Do one exercise at a time. Substitute whatever you like for any exercise. e.g. run as hard and fast as you can for 20 seconds, rest for 10, then do it again. 8 times. Then do something else 8 times. But do four (4) different exercises.
Remember, you’re resting 1/3 of the time. But it will kick your ■■■.
In a good way.
Terry
Nice reply Terry…I agree Tabata is awesome and a complete ■■■ kicker. When I did Tabata squat thrusts for the first time I swear I felt like my heart was going to explode.
Also in a good way
